OverviewNCBI Gene

FAM90A1 belongs to subfamily I of the primate-specific FAM90A gene family, which originated from multiple duplications and rearrangements (Bosch et al., 2007 [PubMed 17684299]).[supplied by OMIM, Oct 2009]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against FAM90A1 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Genetic constraint and essentialitygnomAD · DepMap

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads FAM90A1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against FAM90A1 could matter depends on whether native FAM90A1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

FAM90A1 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 FAM90A1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
