OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene is a member of the Period family of genes and is expressed in a circadian pattern in the suprachiasmatic nucleus, the primary circadian pacemaker in the mammalian brain. Genes in this family encode components of the circadian rhythms of locomotor activity, metabolism, and behavior. This gene is upregulated by CLOCK/ARNTL heterodimers but then represses this upregulation in a feedback loop using PER/CRY heterodimers to interact with CLOCK/ARNTL. Polymorphisms in this gene may increase the risk of getting certain cancers. Alternative splicing has been observed in this gene; however, these variants have not been fully described.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads PER1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PER1 could matter depends on whether native PER1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PER1 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 PER1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
