OverviewNCBI Gene

POC1 proteins contain an N-terminal WD40 domain and a C-terminal coiled coil domain and are part of centrosomes. They play an important role in basal body and cilia formation. This gene encodes one of the two POC1 proteins found in humans. Mutation in this gene result in autosomal-recessive cone-rod dystrophy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against POC1B 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 POC1B as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against POC1B could matter depends on whether native POC1B is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

POC1B 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 POC1B as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
