OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the disulfide isomerase (PDI) family of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteins that catalyze protein folding and thiol-disulfide interchange reactions. The encoded protein has an N-terminal ER-signal sequence, a catalytically active thioredoxin domain, and one transmembrane domain. Unlike most members of this gene family, it lacks a C-terminal ER-retention sequence. The mature membrane-bound protein can both oxidize and reduce disulfide bonds and acts selectively on membrane-associated polypeptides. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2017]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against TMX1 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 TMX1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against TMX1 could matter depends on whether native TMX1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

TMX1 is annotated as secreted, so native TMX1 circulates and is directly accessible to antibodies. Secreted and cell-surface proteins are the autoantibody targets most likely to act like drugs, blocking or depleting the native protein.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label TMX1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
