OverviewNCBI Gene

Constitutive activation of the Ras pathway triggers an irreversible proliferation arrest reminiscent of replicative senescence. Transcription of this gene is upregulated in response to activation of the Ras pathway, but not under other conditions that induce senescence. The encoded protein is similar to a rat cell surface receptor proposed to function in a neuronal survival pathway. An allelic polymorphism in this gene results in both functional and non-functional (frameshifted) alleles; the reference genome represents the functional allele. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads TMEM158 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against TMEM158 could matter depends on whether native TMEM158 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

TMEM158 is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label TMEM158 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.

Canonical record: https://seroatlas.com/gene/TMEM158. Study-independent annotations aggregated from UniProt, Human Protein Atlas, PubMed, IEDB, Pfam, InterPro, Gene Ontology, AlphaFold, gnomAD, DepMap, ClinVar, TCGA. Catalog release seroatlas-reviewed-human-uniprot-20260313.
