OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene belongs to the neuron navigator family and is expressed predominantly in the nervous system. The encoded protein contains coiled-coil domains and a conserved AAA domain characteristic for ATPases associated with a variety of cellular activities. This gene is similar to unc-53, a Caenorhabditis elegans gene involved in axon guidance. The exact function of this gene is not known, but it is thought to play a role in in neuronal development and regeneration. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads NAV1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against NAV1 could matter depends on whether native NAV1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

NAV1 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 NAV1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
