OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a protein that is likely to function in progression of meiosis. A similar protein in mouse plays a role in gametogenesis in both sexes. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against M1AP 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 M1AP as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against M1AP could matter depends on whether native M1AP is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

M1AP 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 M1AP as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
