OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the serine protease family. Serine proteases are known to be involved in many physiological and pathological processes. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against TMPRSS5 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 TMPRSS5 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against TMPRSS5 could matter depends on whether native TMPRSS5 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

TMPRSS5 is annotated at the cell surface, where native TMPRSS5 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 TMPRSS5 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
