OverviewNCBI Gene
Predicted to be involved in immune response-regulating signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within defense response to virus and detection of virus. Predicted to be located in cell surface. Predicted to be part of SWI/SNF complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Biomarker of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome; anogenital venereal wart; hepatitis C; and lymphoproliferative syndrome. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein binding partners of NCR1 in the human serome: UniProt-annotated complex subunits plus reported interactors. Each links to its own Seroatlas record.
Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads NCR1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against NCR1 could matter depends on whether native NCR1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
NCR1 is annotated at the cell surface, where native NCR1 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.
Annotation status
The present source text does not explicitly label NCR1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
