OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a kinesin family member 1 binding protein that is characterized by two tetratrico peptide repeats. The encoded protein localizes to the mitochondria and may be involved in regulating transport of the mitochondria. Mutations in this gene are associated with Goldberg-Shprintzen megacolon syndrome.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

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