OverviewNCBI Gene
FOXQ1 is a member of the FOX gene family, which is characterized by a conserved 110-amino acid DNA-binding motif called the forkhead or winged helix domain. FOX genes are involved in embryonic development, cell cycle regulation, tissue-specific gene expression, cell signaling, and tumorigenesis (Bieller et al., 2001 [PubMed 11747606]).[supplied by OMIM, May 2009]

Whether an antibody against FOXQ1 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 FOXQ1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against FOXQ1 could matter depends on whether native FOXQ1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
FOXQ1 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 FOXQ1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
