OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is an actin-binding protein that crosslinks actin filaments and links actin filaments to membrane glycoproteins. The encoded protein is involved in remodeling the cytoskeleton to effect changes in cell shape and migration. This protein interacts with integrins, transmembrane receptor complexes, and second messengers. Defects in this gene are a cause of several syndromes, including periventricular nodular heterotopias (PVNH1, PVNH4), otopalatodigital syndromes (OPD1, OPD2), frontometaphyseal dysplasia (FMD), Melnick-Needles syndrome (MNS), and X-linked congenital idiopathic intestinal pseudoobstruction (CIIPX). Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

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

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