OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the peptidase M48A family. The encoded protein is a zinc metalloproteinase involved in the two step post-translational proteolytic cleavage of carboxy terminal residues of farnesylated prelamin A to form mature lamin A. Mutations in this gene have been associated with mandibuloacral dysplasia and restrictive dermopathy. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ZMPSTE24 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 ZMPSTE24 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ZMPSTE24 could matter depends on whether native ZMPSTE24 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ZMPSTE24 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 ZMPSTE24 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
