OverviewNCBI Gene

Enables RNA polymerase II C-terminal domain phosphoserine binding activity; S-adenosyl-L-methionine binding activity; and mRNA (2'-O-methyladenosine-N6-)-methyltransferase activity. Involved in mRNA processing; negative regulation of translation; and positive regulation of translation. Located in intercellular bridge; microtubule cytoskeleton; and nucleoplasm.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against PCIF1 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 PCIF1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PCIF1 could matter depends on whether native PCIF1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PCIF1 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 PCIF1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.

Canonical record: https://seroatlas.com/gene/PCIF1. Study-independent annotations aggregated from UniProt, Human Protein Atlas, PubMed, IEDB, Pfam, InterPro, Gene Ontology, AlphaFold, gnomAD, DepMap, ClinVar, TCGA. Catalog release seroatlas-reviewed-human-uniprot-20260313.

Seroatlas is the reference for exploring autoantibody and antibody serology at the human-protein level: the autoreactome and human serome, multiplex serology (HuProt, HuScan, VirScan, PhIP-Seq).
