OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a cytokine receptor-like factor that may negatively regulate cell cycle progression at the G0/G1 phase. Studies of the related rat protein suggest that it may regulate neuronal morphology and synaptic vesicle biogenesis. This gene is one of several genes located in the neurofibromatosis type I tumor suppressor region on the q arm of chromosome 17, a region that is subject to microdeletions, duplications, chromosomal breaks and rearrangements. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. Related pseudogenes have been identified on chromosomes 2 and 5. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CRLF3 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 CRLF3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CRLF3 could matter depends on whether native CRLF3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CRLF3 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 CRLF3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
