OverviewNCBI Gene
Predicted to be involved in regulation of neuron projection development. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of stress fiber assembly; positive regulation of lamellipodium assembly; and positive regulation of small GTPase mediated signal transduction. Located in cytosol; nucleoplasm; and plasma membrane. Implicated in congenital nystagmus 1. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads FRMD7 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against FRMD7 could matter depends on whether native FRMD7 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
FRMD7 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 FRMD7 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
