OverviewNCBI Gene

Cell motility, adhesion, cytokinesis, and other functions of the cell cortex are mediated by reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton and several formin homology (FH) proteins have been associated with these processes. The protein encoded by this gene contains two FH domains and belongs to a novel FH protein subfamily implicated in cell polarity. A key regulator of cytoskeletal architecture, the small GTPase Rho, is activated during development by Wnt/Fz signaling to control cell polarity and movement. The protein encoded by this gene is thought to function as a scaffolding protein for the Wnt-induced assembly of a disheveled (Dvl)-Rho complex. This protein also promotes the nucleation and elongation of new actin filaments and regulates cell growth through the stabilization of microtubules. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct proteins. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads DAAM1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against DAAM1 could matter depends on whether native DAAM1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

DAAM1 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 DAAM1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
