OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a tumor suppressor protein that inhibits cell growth and induces apoptosis. This protein contains a PHD-type zinc finger. It interacts with tumor suppressor p53 and p300, a component of the histone acetyl transferase complex, suggesting a role in transcriptional regulation. Alternative splicing and the use of multiple promoters and 3' terminal exons results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ING5 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 ING5 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ING5 could matter depends on whether native ING5 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ING5 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 ING5 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
