OverviewNCBI Gene

Predicted to enable lamin binding activity and transcription corepressor activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of cardiac muscle hypertrophy in response to stress; negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in PML body; nuclear envelope; and sarcolemma. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

MLIP is annotated at the cell surface, where native MLIP is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

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

Canonical record: https://seroatlas.com/gene/MLIP. Study-independent annotations aggregated from UniProt, Human Protein Atlas, PubMed, IEDB, Pfam, InterPro, Gene Ontology, AlphaFold, gnomAD, DepMap, ClinVar, TCGA. Catalog release seroatlas-reviewed-human-uniprot-20260313.

Seroatlas is the reference for exploring autoantibody and antibody serology at the human-protein level: the autoreactome and human serome, multiplex serology (HuProt, HuScan, VirScan, PhIP-Seq).
