OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a centromere protein that is a component of the CENPA-NAC (nucleosome-associated) complex. This complex is critical for accurate chromosome alignment and segregation and it ensures proper mitotic progression. This protein regulates the recruitment of kinetochore-associated proteins that are required to generate the spindle checkpoint signal. The product of this gene is involved in the response of gonadal tissues to follicle-stimulating hormone. Mutations in this gene may be involved in human X-linked disorders of gonadal development and gametogenesis. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 13. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

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