OverviewNCBI Gene
The protein encoded by this gene is a type I membrane receptor that activates cytokine gene promoters such as the IL-13 and TNF-alpha promoters. The encoded protein contains an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) and is thought to regulate the signaling and development of B-cells. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Whether an antibody against NFAM1 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 NFAM1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against NFAM1 could matter depends on whether native NFAM1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
NFAM1 is annotated at the cell surface, where native NFAM1 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 NFAM1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
