OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a transmembrane protein. A missense mutation in this gene result in Nanophthalmos 4 (NNO4). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2014]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against TMEM98 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads TMEM98 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against TMEM98 could matter depends on whether native TMEM98 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

TMEM98 is annotated at the cell surface, where native TMEM98 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label TMEM98 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
