OverviewNCBI Gene

The NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase complex (complex I) of the mitochondrial respiratory chain catalyzes the transfer of electrons from NADH to ubiquinone, and consists of at least 43 subunits. The complex is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. This gene encodes a mitochondrial protein that is associated with the matrix face of the mitochondrial inner membrane and is required for complex I assembly. A mutation in this gene results in mitochondrial complex I deficiency. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against NDUFAF5 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 NDUFAF5 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against NDUFAF5 could matter depends on whether native NDUFAF5 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

NDUFAF5 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 NDUFAF5 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
