OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes a member of the peptidase protein family. The encoded protein functions as a deubiquitinase that is involved in upregulation of the pro-apoptotic Bim protein. This protein may act as a tumor suppressor by increasing levels of Bim to counteract anti-apoptotic signals in cancer cells. Mutations in this gene have been associated with X-linked cognitive disability. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016]

Whether an antibody against USP27X 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 USP27X as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against USP27X could matter depends on whether native USP27X is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
USP27X 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 USP27X as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
