OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is thought to be a cytosolic protein and predicted to contain a NACHT domain and multiple WD40 repeats. Increased expression of this gene was observed in some prostate cancer cell lines. Knocking down expression of this gene results in decreased androgen receptor protein levels, indicating that this gene may be important in modulating androgen receptor activity. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads NWD1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against NWD1 could matter depends on whether native NWD1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

NWD1 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 NWD1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
