OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene is a member of the KIF27 (kinesin 4) sub-family of the mammalian kinesin family. The gene is an ortholog of the Drosophila Cos2 gene, which plays an important role in the Hedgehog signaling pathway. The encoded protein contains an N-terminal motor domain which includes nucleotide-binding and microtubule-interacting regions, a stalk domain containing a predicted coiled coil motif and a C-terminal tail domain. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene. Pseudogenes associated with this gene are located on chromosome 9. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2012]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads KIF27 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against KIF27 could matter depends on whether native KIF27 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

KIF27 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 KIF27 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
