OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane-bound type II serine polyprotease that is cleaved to release three different proteases. Two of the proteases are active and can be inhibited by serine protease inhibitors, and one is thought to be catalytically inactive. This gene enhances the invasive capability of pancreatic cancer cells and may be involved in cancer progression. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against TMPRSS9 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 TMPRSS9 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against TMPRSS9 could matter depends on whether native TMPRSS9 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

TMPRSS9 is annotated at the cell surface, where native TMPRSS9 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 TMPRSS9 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
