OverviewNCBI Gene

The crooked neck (crn) gene of Drosophila is essential for embryogenesis and is thought to be involved in cell cycle progression and pre-mRNA splicing. A protein encoded by this human locus has been found to localize to pre-mRNA splicing complexes in the nucleus and is necessary for pre-mRNA splicing. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CRNKL1 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 CRNKL1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CRNKL1 could matter depends on whether native CRNKL1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CRNKL1 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 CRNKL1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
