OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a protein that is localized to the nucleolus. Expression of this gene is induced by estrogens and Myc protein and is a marker of poor patient survival in breast cancer. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against NOP16 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 NOP16 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against NOP16 could matter depends on whether native NOP16 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

NOP16 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 NOP16 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
