OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the Fanconi anemia complementation group B. This protein is assembled into a nucleoprotein complex that is involved in the repair of DNA lesions. Mutations in this gene can cause chromosome instability and VACTERL syndrome with hydrocephalus. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2016]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

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