OverviewNCBI Gene

The OCT1 transcription factor was among the first identified members of the POU transcription factor family (summarized by Sturm et al., 1993 [PubMed 8314572]). Members of this family contain the POU domain, a 160-amino acid region necessary for DNA binding to the octameric sequence ATGCAAAT.[supplied by OMIM, Jul 2010]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against POU2F1 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Genetic constraint and essentialitygnomAD · DepMap

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads POU2F1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against POU2F1 could matter depends on whether native POU2F1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

POU2F1 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 POU2F1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
