OverviewNCBI Gene

CHRAC1 is a histone-fold protein that interacts with other histone-fold proteins to bind DNA in a sequence-independent manner. These histone-fold protein dimers combine within larger enzymatic complexes for DNA transcription, replication, and packaging.[supplied by OMIM, Apr 2004]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CHRAC1 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 CHRAC1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CHRAC1 could matter depends on whether native CHRAC1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CHRAC1 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 CHRAC1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
