OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the cingulin family. The encoded protein localizes to both adherens and tight cell-cell junctions and mediates junction assembly and maintenance by regulating the activity of the small GTPases RhoA and Rac1. Heterozygous chromosomal rearrangements resulting in association of the promoter for this gene with the aromatase gene are a cause of aromatase excess syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CGNL1 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 CGNL1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CGNL1 could matter depends on whether native CGNL1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CGNL1 is annotated at the cell surface, where native CGNL1 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label CGNL1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
