OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the homeodomain-containing superfamily of transcription factors. The protein binds to DNA as either a homodimer, or a heterodimer with the related protein hepatocyte nuclear factor 1-alpha. The gene has been shown to function in nephron development, and regulates development of the embryonic pancreas. Mutations in this gene result in renal cysts and diabetes syndrome and noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and expression of this gene is altered in some types of cancer. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against HNF1B 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 HNF1B as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against HNF1B could matter depends on whether native HNF1B is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

HNF1B 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 HNF1B as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
