OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes an intracellular protein that contains a von Willebrand factor type A domain. Intracellular proteins with VWA domains are thought to function in transcription, DNA repair, ribosomal and membrane transport and the proteasome. Mutations in this gene are associated with Spinocerebellar ataxia, autosomal recessive 22. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2017]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against VWA3B 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 VWA3B as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against VWA3B could matter depends on whether native VWA3B is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

VWA3B 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 VWA3B as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
