OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a PTEN-related tyrosine phosphatase which may play a role in the signal transduction pathways of the endocrine or spermatogenic function of the testis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

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

TPTE 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 TPTE as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
