OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is expressed in neurons of most regions of the brain. It contains an N-terminal BTB domain, which mediates dimerization of the protein, and a C-terminal Kelch domain, which mediates binding to F-actin. This protein may play a key role in the regulation of actin-based neuronal function. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against KLHL17 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 KLHL17 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against KLHL17 could matter depends on whether native KLHL17 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

KLHL17 is annotated as secreted, so native KLHL17 circulates and is directly accessible to antibodies. Secreted and cell-surface proteins are the autoantibody targets most likely to act like drugs, blocking or depleting the native protein.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label KLHL17 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
