OverviewNCBI Gene

Pheromones are chemical signals that elicit specific behavioral responses and physiologic alterations in recipients of the same species. The protein encoded by this gene is similar to pheromone receptors and is primarily localized to the olfactory mucosa. An alternate splice variant of this gene is thought to exist, but its full length nature has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against VN1R1 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 VN1R1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against VN1R1 could matter depends on whether native VN1R1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

VN1R1 is annotated at the cell surface, where native VN1R1 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label VN1R1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
