OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes GTPase-activating protein for ras-related p21-rac and a phorbol ester receptor. It is predominantly expressed in neurons, and plays an important role in neuronal signal-transduction mechanisms. Mutations in this gene are associated with Duane's retraction syndrome 2 (DURS2). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2011]

Whether an antibody against CHN1 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 CHN1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CHN1 could matter depends on whether native CHN1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
CHN1 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 CHN1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
