OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a protein that was identified as a cellular interacting partner of non-structural protein 10 of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV). The encoded protein may function as a negative regulator of transcription. There is a pseudogene for this gene on chromosome 1. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

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