OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the type II transmembrane serine protease family. The encoded protein contains a type II transmembrane domain, a receptor class A domain, a scavenger receptor cysteine-rich domain and a protease domain. Transmembrane serine proteases are regulated by protease inhibitors and known to function in development, homeostasis, infection, and tumorigenesis. This protein facilitates entry of viruses into host cells by proteolytically cleaving and activating viral envelope glycoproteins. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2021]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against TMPRSS13 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Genetic constraint and essentialitygnomAD · DepMap

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads TMPRSS13 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against TMPRSS13 could matter depends on whether native TMPRSS13 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

TMPRSS13 is annotated at the cell surface, where native TMPRSS13 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 TMPRSS13 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
