OverviewNCBI Gene
The protein encoded by this gene is similar to a mitochondrial di-iron containing hydroxylase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae that is involved with ubiquinone biosynthesis. Mutations in the yeast gene lead to slower development and longer life span. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]

Whether an antibody against COQ7 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 COQ7 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against COQ7 could matter depends on whether native COQ7 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
COQ7 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 COQ7 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
