OverviewNCBI Gene

The product of this gene is a component of the nuclear factor of activated T cells DNA-binding transcription complex. This complex consists of at least two components: a preexisting cytosolic component that translocates to the nucleus upon T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation, and an inducible nuclear component. Proteins belonging to this family of transcription factors play a central role in inducible gene transcription during immune response. The product of this gene is an inducible nuclear component. It functions as a major molecular target for the immunosuppressive drugs such as cyclosporin A. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. Different isoforms of this protein may regulate inducible expression of different cytokine genes. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads NFATC1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against NFATC1 could matter depends on whether native NFATC1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

NFATC1 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 NFATC1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
