OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the SWItch/Sucrose Non-Fermentable (SWI/SNF2) family of proteins, and contains a SNF2-like ATPase domain and a PICH family domain. One distinguishing feature of this SWI/SNF protein family member is that during interphase, the protein is excluded from the nucleus, and only associates with chromatin after the nuclear envelope has broken down. This protein is a DNA translocase that is thought to bind double-stranded DNA that is exposed to stretching forces, such as those exerted by the mitotic spindle. This protein associates with ribosomal DNA and ultra-fine DNA bridges (UFBs), fine structures that connect sister chromatids during anaphase at some sites such as fragile sites, telomeres and centromeres. This gene is required for the faithful segregation of sister chromatids during mitosis, and the ATPase activity of this protein required for the resolution of UFBs before cytokinesis.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads ERCC6L as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ERCC6L could matter depends on whether native ERCC6L is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ERCC6L 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 ERCC6L as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
