Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads C1orf122 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against C1orf122 could matter depends on whether native C1orf122 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

C1orf122 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 C1orf122 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
