OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a deubiquitinizing enzyme and possible tumor suppressor. The encoded protein acts on TNF receptor associated factor 6 (TRAF6) to control nuclear factor kappa B expression. However, this gene is downregulated by SNAIL1 in hepatocellular carcinoma cells, contributing to their progression and malignancy. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against OTUD7A 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 OTUD7A as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against OTUD7A could matter depends on whether native OTUD7A is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

OTUD7A 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 OTUD7A as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
