OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene is similar to the MAB-21 cell fate-determining gene found in C. elegans. It may be involved in eye and cerebellum development, and it has been proposed that expansion of a trinucleotide repeat region in the 5' UTR may play a role in a variety of psychiatric disorders.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against MAB21L1 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 MAB21L1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against MAB21L1 could matter depends on whether native MAB21L1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

MAB21L1 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 MAB21L1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
