OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a basic protein of the sperm head cytoskeleton. This protein contains kelch repeats and a BTB/POZ domain and is necessary for normal morphology during sperm differentiation. This gene is intronless. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

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