OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene is a member of the ADAR (adenosine deaminase acting on RNA) family. Using site-specific adenosine modification, proteins encoded by these genes participate in the pre-mRNA editing of nuclear transcripts. The protein encoded by this gene, tRNA-specific adenosine deaminase 1, is responsible for the deamination of adenosine 37 to inosine in eukaryotic tRNA. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ADAT1 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 ADAT1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ADAT1 could matter depends on whether native ADAT1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ADAT1 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 ADAT1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
