OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the chloride intracellular channel (CLIC) family of chloride ion channels. The encoded protein associates with actin-based cytoskeletal structures and may play a role in multiple processes including hair cell stereocilia formation, myoblast proliferation and glomerular podocyte and endothelial cell maintenance. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CLIC5 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 CLIC5 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CLIC5 could matter depends on whether native CLIC5 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CLIC5 is annotated at the cell surface, where native CLIC5 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 CLIC5 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
