OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a mitochondrial protein that is characterized by a poly-proline rich region. A chicken homolog of this protein promotes mitochondrial fission and the mouse homolog protects cells from oxidative stress. A related pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome X.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against MTFR1 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 MTFR1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against MTFR1 could matter depends on whether native MTFR1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

MTFR1 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 MTFR1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
