OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a protein similar to the RAS effector proteins. Loss or altered expression of this gene has been associated with the pathogenesis of a variety of cancers, which suggests the tumor suppressor function of this gene. The inactivation of this gene was found to be correlated with the hypermethylation of its CpG-island promoter region. The encoded protein was found to interact with DNA repair protein XPA. The protein was also shown to inhibit the accumulation of cyclin D1, and thus induce cell cycle arrest. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, May 2011]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against RASSF1 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 RASSF1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against RASSF1 could matter depends on whether native RASSF1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

RASSF1 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 RASSF1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
