OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene belongs to the chemokine-like factor gene superfamily, a novel family that is similar to the chemokine and the transmembrane 4 superfamilies of signaling molecules. The protein encoded by this gene may play an important role in testicular development. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. Naturally occurring read-through transcription occurs between this locus and the neighboring locus CKLF (chemokine-like factor).[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CMTM1 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 CMTM1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CMTM1 could matter depends on whether native CMTM1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CMTM1 is annotated as secreted, so native CMTM1 circulates and is directly accessible to antibodies. Secreted and cell-surface proteins are the autoantibody targets most likely to act like drugs, blocking or depleting the native protein.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label CMTM1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
