OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a transcription factor that interacts with methyl-CpG-binding protein-2 (MBD2), a component of the MeCP1 histone deacetylase (HDAC) complex, and plays a role in DNA methylation and transcription repression. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against HINFP can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Genetic constraint and essentialitygnomAD · DepMap

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

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

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