OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes an NADPH sensor protein that preferentially binds to NADPH. The encoded protein also negatively regulates the activity of NF-kappaB in a ubiquitylation-dependent manner. It plays a key role in cellular antiviral response by negatively regulating the interferon response factor 3-mediated expression of interferon beta. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2015]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against NMRAL1 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Genetic constraint and essentialitygnomAD · DepMap

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads NMRAL1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against NMRAL1 could matter depends on whether native NMRAL1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

NMRAL1 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 NMRAL1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
