OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a protein that is induced by the steroid hormone progesterone and plays a role in the maintenance of pregnancy. The encoded protein regulates multiple facets of the immune system to promote normal pregnancy including cytokine synthesis, natural killer (NK) cell activity, and arachidonic acid metabolism. Low serum levels of this protein have been associated with spontaneous pre-term labor in humans. This protein may promote the proliferation, migration and invasion of glioma.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against PIBF1 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 PIBF1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PIBF1 could matter depends on whether native PIBF1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PIBF1 is annotated as secreted, so native PIBF1 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 PIBF1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
