OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene has been observed to localize to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC) and coat protein complex I (COPI) in some human cells. The encoded protein shares some homology with the yeast protein Vma12. Defects in this gene are a cause of congenital disorder of glycosylation, type IIp. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against VMA12 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 VMA12 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against VMA12 could matter depends on whether native VMA12 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

VMA12 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 VMA12 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
