OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene belongs to the forkhead family of transcription factors, which is characterized by a distinct forkhead domain. This gene may play an important role in the development of the cochlea and vestibulum, as well as in embryogenesis. The encoded protein has been found to be required for the transcription of four subunits of a proton pump found in the inner ear, the kidney, and the epididymis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with deafness, autosomal recessive 4. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2017]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against FOXI1 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 FOXI1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against FOXI1 could matter depends on whether native FOXI1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

FOXI1 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 FOXI1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
