OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes an enzyme that localizes to the Golgi apparatus, where it transfers an acetyl group to the N-terminus of free proteins. This enzyme acts on histones, and its activity is important for chromatin assembly and chromosome integrity. Alternative splicing and the use of alternative promoters results in multiple transcript variants. The upstream promoter is located in a differentially methylated region (DMR) and undergoes imprinting; transcript variants originating from this position are expressed from the maternal allele.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against NAA60 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 NAA60 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against NAA60 could matter depends on whether native NAA60 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

NAA60 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 NAA60 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
