OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the WD repeat protein family with nine WD repeats. WD repeats are minimally conserved regions of approximately 40 amino acids typically bracketed by gly-his and trp-asp (GH-WD), which may facilitate formation of heterotrimeric or multiprotein complexes. Members of this family are involved in a variety of cellular processes, including cell cycle progression, signal transduction, apoptosis, and gene regulation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2017]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads CFAP337 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CFAP337 could matter depends on whether native CFAP337 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CFAP337 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 CFAP337 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
