OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the HIN-200 family of interferon-inducible proteins that share a 200-amino acid signature motif at their C-termini. HIN200 proteins are primarily nuclear and are involved in transcriptional regulation of genes important for cell cycle control, differentiation, and apoptosis. Downregulation of this gene is associated with breast cancer. This protein acts as a tumor suppressor by promoting ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of MDM2, which leads to stabilization of p53/TP53. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads PYHIN1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PYHIN1 could matter depends on whether native PYHIN1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PYHIN1 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 PYHIN1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
