OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the homeodomain family of DNA binding proteins. It may regulate gene expression, morphogenesis, and differentiation and it may also play a role in the cell cycle progession. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CUX1 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 CUX1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CUX1 could matter depends on whether native CUX1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CUX1 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 CUX1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
