OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a component of the transcriptional coactivator complex termed the Mediator complex. This complex is required for transcription of most RNA polymerase II-dependent genes. The encoded protein plays a role in chromatin modification and in preinitiation complex assembly. Mutations in this gene are associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2B2.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against MED25 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 MED25 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against MED25 could matter depends on whether native MED25 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

MED25 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 MED25 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
