OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene is identified by the similarity of its product to the N-terminal region of BCL7A protein. The BCL7A protein is encoded by the gene known to be directly involved in a three-way gene translocation in a Burkitt lymphoma cell line. The function of this gene has not yet been determined. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2013]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against BCL7C 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 BCL7C as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against BCL7C could matter depends on whether native BCL7C is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

BCL7C 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 BCL7C as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
