OverviewNCBI Gene
The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the conversion of 10-formyltetrahydrofolate, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+), and water to tetrahydrofolate, NADPH, and carbon dioxide. The encoded protein belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenase family. Loss of function or expression of this gene is associated with decreased apoptosis, increased cell motility, and cancer progression. There is an antisense transcript that overlaps on the opposite strand with this gene locus. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2012]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads ALDH1L1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ALDH1L1 could matter depends on whether native ALDH1L1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
ALDH1L1 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 ALDH1L1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
