| Autoantibody | |
|---|---|
| Anti-p62 | |
| Autoantigen Isoform | Nucleoporin 62kDA |
| Autoantigen gene | NUP62 |
| Affected organ(s) | Bile duct |

Anti-p62 antibodies (AP62A) are found in a primary biliary cirrhosis.[1] The p62 protein is also more frequent in Stage IV primary biliary cirrhosis and is prognostic for severe disease.[2][3] The autoantigen is the nucleoporin 62kDA protein.
