OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the chromodomain-helicase-DNA binding protein family, which is characterized by a SNF2-like domain and two chromatin organization modifier domains. The encoded protein also contains brahma and kismet domains, which are common to the subfamily of chromodomain-helicase-DNA binding proteins to which this protein belongs. This gene has been shown to function in several processes that include transcriptional regulation, epigenetic remodeling, promotion of cell proliferation, and regulation of RNA synthesis. Allelic variants of this gene are associated with autism spectrum disorder. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads CHD8 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CHD8 could matter depends on whether native CHD8 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CHD8 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 CHD8 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
