OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a core intraflagellar transport (IFT) protein which belongs to a multi-protein complex involved in the transport of ciliary proteins along axonemal microtubules. IFT proteins are found at the base of the cilium as well as inside the cilium, where they assemble into long arrays between the ciliary base and tip. This protein, together with intraflagellar transport protein 81, binds and transports tubulin within cilia and is required for ciliogenesis. Naturally occurring mutations in this gene are associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis--frontotemporal dementia and Bardet-Biedl Syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2017]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against IFT74 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 IFT74 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against IFT74 could matter depends on whether native IFT74 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

IFT74 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 IFT74 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
