OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a component of the WASH complex, which functions in the intracellular transport of endosomes. Mutations in this gene have been detected in individuals with autosomal recessive cognitive disability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2014]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against WASHC4 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 WASHC4 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against WASHC4 could matter depends on whether native WASHC4 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

WASHC4 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 WASHC4 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
