OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the homeodomain interacting protein kinase (HIPK) family of proteins. While other members of this family are found throughout vertebrates, this member is present only in mammals. Compared to other members of this family, the encoded protein lacks a nuclear localization signal and a C-terminal autoinhibitory domain. The encoded protein exhibits kinase activity and may phosphorylate the tumor suppressor protein p53. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against HIPK4 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 HIPK4 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against HIPK4 could matter depends on whether native HIPK4 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

HIPK4 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 HIPK4 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
