OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the tripartite motif (TRIM) family. The TRIM motif includes three zinc-binding domains, a RING, a B-box type 1 and a B-box type 2, and a coiled-coil region. The protein localizes to the cytoplasm. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their biological validity has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against TRIM15 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Genetic constraint and essentialitygnomAD · DepMap

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 TRIM15 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against TRIM15 could matter depends on whether native TRIM15 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

TRIM15 is annotated at the cell surface, where native TRIM15 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 TRIM15 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
