OverviewNCBI Gene

This locus encodes a sensory epithelial protein. It was defined by linkage analysis in three Pakistani families to lie between D9S1818 (centromeric) and D9SH6 (telomeric). Mutations at this locus have been associated with autosomal recessive deafness. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

TPRN is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.

Annotation status

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