OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes a member of the WD repeat protein family. WD repeats are minimally conserved regions of approximately 40 amino acids typically bracketed by gly-his and trp-asp (GH-WD), which may facilitate formation of heterotrimeric or multiprotein complexes. Members of this family are involved in a variety of cellular processes, including cell cycle progression, signal transduction, apoptosis, and gene regulation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Whether an antibody against DCAF12L1 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 DCAF12L1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against DCAF12L1 could matter depends on whether native DCAF12L1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
DCAF12L1 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 DCAF12L1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
