OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes a large protein that contains an F-box domain and may participate in protein ubiquitination. The encoded protein is a transcriptional co-activator of Krueppel-like factor 7 (Klf7). A heterozygous mutation in this gene was found in individuals with autosomal dominant distal hereditary motor neuronopathy type IID. There is a pseudogene for this gene on chromosome 4. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2013]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads FBXO38 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against FBXO38 could matter depends on whether native FBXO38 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
FBXO38 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 FBXO38 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
