OverviewNCBI Gene

The globular WW domain, named for the conserved tryptophan residues in the protein motif present in various structural and regulatory proteins, is known to play a role in the mediation of protein-protein interactions. This gene encodes a ligand of the WW domain of the Yes kinase-associated protein. Readthrough transcription of the neighboring upstream gene, which encodes INO80 complex subunit B, into this gene generates a non-coding transcript. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against WBP1 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Genetic constraint and essentialitygnomAD · DepMap

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads WBP1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against WBP1 could matter depends on whether native WBP1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

WBP1 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 WBP1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
