OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a protein containing several motifs involved in protein-protein interaction, including PDZ, PH (Pleckstrin homology), and SAM (sterile alpha motif) domains. The encoded protein acts as a scaffold component for receptor tyrosine kinase signaling and may mediate crosstalk between different signaling pathways. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads CNKSR1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CNKSR1 could matter depends on whether native CNKSR1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CNKSR1 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 CNKSR1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
