OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene is a member of the SMCY homolog family and encodes a protein with one ARID domain, one JmjC domain, one JmjN domain and two PHD-type zinc fingers. The DNA-binding motifs suggest this protein is involved in the regulation of transcription and chromatin remodeling. Mutations in this gene have been associated with X-linked cognitive disability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2009]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against KDM5C 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 KDM5C as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against KDM5C could matter depends on whether native KDM5C is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

KDM5C 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 KDM5C as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
