OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the Mrp/NBP35 ATP-binding proteins family. The encoded protein is required for the assembly of the respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase (complex I), an oligomeric enzymatic complex located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Mutations in this gene cause mitochondrial complex I deficiency. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

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