OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes an inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP)-binding protein. The encoded mitochondrial protein enters the cytosol when cells undergo apoptosis, and allows activation of caspases by binding to inhibitor of apoptosis proteins. Overexpression of the encoded protein sensitizes tumor cells to apoptosis. A mutation in this gene is associated with young-adult onset of nonsyndromic deafness-64. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

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