OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper transcription factor of the Myc/Max/Mad superfamily. This protein forms a heterodimeric complex and binds and activates, in a glucose-dependent manner, carbohydrate response element (ChoRE) motifs in the promoters of triglyceride synthesis genes. The gene is deleted in Williams-Beuren syndrome, a multisystem developmental disorder caused by the deletion of contiguous genes at chromosome 7q11.23. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

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

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