OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a protein that plays a critical role in dynein arm assembly and motile cilia function. Mutations in this gene result in primary ciliary dyskinesia. Naturally occuring readthrough transcription occurs from this locus to the downstream t-complex 10 like (TCP10L) gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2017]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CFAP298 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 CFAP298 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CFAP298 could matter depends on whether native CFAP298 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CFAP298 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 CFAP298 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
