OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Kelch-like gene family, whose members contain a BTB/POZ domain, a BACK domain, and several Kelch domains. The encoded protein possesses six Kelch domains and localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum, where it interacts with torsin-1A. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against KLHL14 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 KLHL14 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against KLHL14 could matter depends on whether native KLHL14 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

KLHL14 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 KLHL14 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
