OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the CREB-binding protein/p300-interacting transactivator with Asp/Glu-rich C-terminal domain (CITED) family of proteins. The encoded protein, also known as melanocyte-specific gene 1, may function as a transcriptional coactivator and may play a role in pigmentation of melanocytes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2009]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CITED1 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Genetic constraint and essentialitygnomAD · DepMap

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads CITED1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CITED1 could matter depends on whether native CITED1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CITED1 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 CITED1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
