OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes a protein containing a BTB (Broad-complex, tramtrack and bric a brac), also known as a POZ (POxvirus and zinc finger) protein-protein interaction domain. The encoded protein negatively regulates the AP-2 family of transcription factors and the Wnt signaling pathway. A mechanism for the modulation of Wnt signaling has been proposed in which the encoded protein enhances ubiquitination and degradation of the beta-catenin protein. Mutations in this gene have been identified in Scalp-ear-nipple (SEN) syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, May 2017]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads KCTD1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against KCTD1 could matter depends on whether native KCTD1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
KCTD1 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 KCTD1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
