OverviewNCBI Gene
The protein encoded by this gene may control steps in the cycling of proteins through the trans-Golgi network to endosomes, lysosomes and the plasma membrane. Mutations in this gene cause the autosomal recessive disorder, chorea-acanthocytosis. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Protein binding partners of VPS13A in the human serome: UniProt-annotated complex subunits plus reported interactors. Each links to its own Seroatlas record.
Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads VPS13A as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against VPS13A could matter depends on whether native VPS13A is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
VPS13A 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 VPS13A as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
