OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene product appears to function as a negative regulator of the ras signal transduction pathway. Mutations in this gene have been linked to neurofibromatosis type 1, juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia and Watson syndrome. The mRNA for this gene is subject to RNA editing (CGA>UGA->Arg1306Term) resulting in premature translation termination. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have also been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Protein binding partners of NF1 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 NF1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against NF1 could matter depends on whether native NF1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
NF1 is annotated at the cell surface, where native NF1 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 NF1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
