OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene belongs to a class of genes that arose through hAT DNA transposition and that encode regulatory proteins. This gene is upregulated in lung cancer tissues, where the encoded protein causes an accumulation of beta-catenin and enhanced lung cancer cell invasion. In addition, the encoded protein can be secreted and be involved in resistance to insulin. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ZBED3 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 ZBED3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ZBED3 could matter depends on whether native ZBED3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ZBED3 is annotated as secreted, so native ZBED3 circulates and is directly accessible to antibodies. Secreted and cell-surface proteins are the autoantibody targets most likely to act like drugs, blocking or depleting the native protein.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label ZBED3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
