OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a central component of the nexin-dynein complex (N-DRC), which regulates the assembly of ciliary dynein. Mutations in this gene can cause ciliary dyskinesia. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against DRC1 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 DRC1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against DRC1 could matter depends on whether native DRC1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

DRC1 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 DRC1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
