OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the CTF/NF-I family. These are dimeric DNA-binding proteins, and function as cellular transcription factors and as replication factors for adenovirus DNA replication. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

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