OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of a small calcium-binding EF-hand protein family. The encoded protein is thought to have a key role in Golgi calcium homeostasis and Ca(2+)-regulated signal transduction events. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against NUCB1 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 NUCB1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against NUCB1 could matter depends on whether native NUCB1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

NUCB1 is annotated as secreted, so native NUCB1 circulates and is directly accessible to antibodies. Secreted and cell-surface proteins are the autoantibody targets most likely to act like drugs, blocking or depleting the native protein.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label NUCB1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
