OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of a family of proteins that feature C2H2-type zinc finger domains. The encoded protein is a transcriptional repressor that acts as an effector of transforming growth factor beta signaling. Activity of this protein may inhibit the growth of cancers, particularly pancreatic cancer. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2013]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against KLF10 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Genetic constraint and essentialitygnomAD · DepMap

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads KLF10 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against KLF10 could matter depends on whether native KLF10 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

KLF10 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 KLF10 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
