OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a C2H2 zinc finger protein that functions as a suppressor of cell growth. This gene is often deleted or methylated and silenced in cancer cells. In addition, overexpression of this gene during fetal development is thought to be the causal factor for transient neonatal diabetes mellitus (TNDM). Alternative splicing and the use of alternative promoters results in multiple transcript variants encoding two different protein isoforms. The P1 downstream promoter of this gene is imprinted, with preferential expression from the paternal allele in many tissues. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against PLAGL1 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 PLAGL1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PLAGL1 could matter depends on whether native PLAGL1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PLAGL1 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 PLAGL1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
