OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene is a member of the NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) iron-sulfur protein family. The encoded protein is a subunit of the NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I), the first enzyme complex in the electron transport chain located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants and pseudogenes have been identified on chromosomes 1, 4 and 17. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against NDUFS5 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 NDUFS5 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against NDUFS5 could matter depends on whether native NDUFS5 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

NDUFS5 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 NDUFS5 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
