OverviewNCBI Gene

The zinc finger protein encoded by this gene is one of several cellular transcription factors whose DNA-binding activities are regulated through the action of adenovirus E1A. A 50-kDa amino-terminal product is generated from the full-length protein through proteolytic cleavage. The protein is differentially regulated by E1A-induced phosphorylation. The full-length gene product represses transcription from the E4 promoter in the absence of E1A, while the 50-kDa form acts as a transcriptional activator in its presence. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcripts encoding different proteins. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against E4F1 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 E4F1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against E4F1 could matter depends on whether native E4F1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

E4F1 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 E4F1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
