OverviewNCBI Gene

The product of this gene is a member of the nuclear factors 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. Other members of this family participate to form this complex also. The product of this gene plays a role in the regulation of gene expression in T cells and immature thymocytes. Several transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads NFATC3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against NFATC3 could matter depends on whether native NFATC3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

NFATC3 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 NFATC3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
