Anti-p62
antibodies (AP62A) are found in a primary biliary cirrhosis
. p62 is also more frequent in Stage IV primary biliary cirrhosis
and is prognostic for severe disease. The autoantigen is the nucleoporin 62
kDA protein.
Nucleoporin 62
Nucleoporin p62 is a protein complex associated with the nuclear envelope. The p62 protein remains associated with the nuclear pore complex-lamina fraction. p62 is synthesized as a soluble cytoplasmic precursor of 61 kDa followed by modification that involve addition of N-acetylglucosamine residues...

Primary biliary cirrhosis
Primary biliary cirrhosis, often abbreviated PBC, is an autoimmune disease of the liver marked by the slow progressive destruction of the small bile ducts within the liver. When these ducts are damaged, bile builds up in the liver and over time damages the tissue. This can lead to scarring,...
