OverviewNCBI Gene
Modification of cellular proteins by ubiquitin is an essential regulatory mechanism controlled by the coordinated action of multiple ubiquitin-conjugating and deubiquitinating enzymes. USP40 belongs to a large family of cysteine proteases that function as deubiquitinating enzymes (Quesada et al., 2004 [PubMed 14715245]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads USP40 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against USP40 could matter depends on whether native USP40 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
USP40 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 USP40 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
