OverviewNCBI Gene
The protein encoded by this gene shares 22% sequence identity with Hemophilus influenzae xylulokinase, and even higher identity to other gene products in C.elegans (45%) and yeast (31-35%), which are thought to belong to a family of enzymes that include fucokinase, gluconokinase, glycerokinase and xylulokinase. These proteins play important roles in energy metabolism. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2009]

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