OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene plays a role in DNA interstrand cross-link repair and encodes a protein with 5' flap endonuclease and 5'-3' exonuclease activity. Mutations in this gene cause karyomegalic interstitial nephritis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against FAN1 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 FAN1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against FAN1 could matter depends on whether native FAN1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

FAN1 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 FAN1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
