OverviewNCBI Gene

The product of the MND1 gene associates with HOP2 (MIM 608665) to form a stable heterodimeric complex that binds DNA and stimulates the recombinase activity of RAD51 (MIM 179617) and DMC1 (MIM 602721) (Chi et al., 2007 [PubMed 17639080]). Both the MND1 and HOP2 genes are indispensable for meiotic recombination.[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against MND1 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Genetic constraint and essentialitygnomAD · DepMap

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads MND1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against MND1 could matter depends on whether native MND1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

MND1 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 MND1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
