OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a cilia-associated protein belonging to the kinesin family. This protein plays a role in the sonic hedgehog (SHH) signaling pathway through the regulation of GLI transcription factors. It functions as a negative regulator of the SHH pathway by preventing inappropriate activation of GLI2 in the absence of ligand, and as a positive regulator by preventing the processing of GLI3 into its repressor form. Mutations in this gene have been associated with various ciliopathies. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against KIF7 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 KIF7 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against KIF7 could matter depends on whether native KIF7 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

KIF7 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 KIF7 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
