OverviewNCBI Gene

The NELF complex of proteins interacts with the DSIF protein complex to repress transcriptional elongation by RNA polymerase II. The protein encoded by this gene is an essential part of the NELF complex. Alternative translation initiation site usage results in the formation of two isoforms with different N-termini.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against NELFCD can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

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

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