OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene appears to be a zinc finger protein containing a transposase domain at the C-terminus. This protein was found to interact with the transcription factor SP1 in a yeast two-hybrid system. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been observed.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

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