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 endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-signal sequence, three catalytically active thioredoxin domains and a C-terminal ER-retention sequence. Its expression is induced by hypoxia and its role may be to protect hypoxic cells from apoptosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Read-through transcription also exists between this gene and the neighboring upstream BLOC1S5 gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against TXNDC5 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 TXNDC5 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against TXNDC5 could matter depends on whether native TXNDC5 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

TXNDC5 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 TXNDC5 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
