OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a protein with high similarity to the calcium-binding proteins of the calmodulin family. The encoded protein contains two EF-hand domains and potential calcium-binding sites. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CALN1 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Genetic constraint and essentialitygnomAD · DepMap

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads CALN1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CALN1 could matter depends on whether native CALN1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CALN1 is annotated at the cell surface, where native CALN1 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label CALN1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
