OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene represents a transcribed retrogene of the Nanog homeobox gene. The putative encoded protein may participate in reprogramming of cancer cells. In vitro studies using a recombinant protein have shown that the protein localizes to the nucleus and can promote cell proliferation, similar to the Nanog protein. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2017]

Whether an antibody against NANOGP8 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 NANOGP8 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against NANOGP8 could matter depends on whether native NANOGP8 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
NANOGP8 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 NANOGP8 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
