OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is required for the assembly of axonemal inner and outer dynein arms and plays a role in assembling dynein complexes for transport into cilia. Defects in this gene are a cause of primary ciliary dyskinesia type 2 (CILD2). Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2012]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against DNAAF3 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 DNAAF3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against DNAAF3 could matter depends on whether native DNAAF3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

DNAAF3 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 DNAAF3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
