OverviewNCBI Gene

Members of the CELF/BRUNOL protein family contain two N-terminal RNA recognition motif (RRM) domains, one C-terminal RRM domain, and a divergent segment of 160-230 aa between the second and third RRM domains. Members of this protein family regulate pre-mRNA alternative splicing and may also be involved in mRNA editing, and translation. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified in this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CELF6 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 CELF6 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CELF6 could matter depends on whether native CELF6 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CELF6 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 CELF6 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
