OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a subunit of the cytochrome bc1 complex, which plays an important role in the mitochondrial respiratory chain by transferring electrons from the Rieske iron-sulfur protein to cytochrome c. Mutations in this gene may cause mitochondrial complex III deficiency, nuclear type 6. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2013]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CYC1 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 CYC1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CYC1 could matter depends on whether native CYC1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CYC1 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 CYC1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
