OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes for a protein that in yeast forms part of a trimeric vacuolar-protein-sorting complex that is required for retrograde transport of proteins from prevacuoles to the late Golgi compartment. As in yeast, mammalian Vps54 proteins contain a coiled-coil region and dileucine motifs. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads VPS54 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against VPS54 could matter depends on whether native VPS54 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
VPS54 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 VPS54 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
