OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a protein that has been associated with several biological functions including cellular magnesium uptake, protein glycosylation and embryonic development. This protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and acts as a component of the oligosaccharyl transferase complex which is responsible for N-linked protein glycosylation. This gene is a candidate tumor suppressor gene. Homozygous mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive nonsyndromic mental retardation-7 and in the proliferation and invasiveness of several cancers including metastatic pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer and glioblastoma multiform.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against TUSC3 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 TUSC3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against TUSC3 could matter depends on whether native TUSC3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

TUSC3 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 TUSC3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
