OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene represents a polycomb group gene. The encoded protein functions to regulate gene activity, likely via chromatin modification. The encoded protein may also be necessary for mitosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against L3MBTL1 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 L3MBTL1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against L3MBTL1 could matter depends on whether native L3MBTL1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

L3MBTL1 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 L3MBTL1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
