OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a transcriptional regulator belonging to the SCY1-like family of kinase-like proteins. The protein has a divergent N-terminal kinase domain that is thought to be catalytically inactive, and can bind specific DNA sequences through its C-terminal domain. It activates transcription of the telomerase reverse transcriptase and DNA polymerase beta genes. The protein has been localized to the nucleus, and also to the cytoplasm and centrosomes during mitosis. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against SCYL1 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 SCYL1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SCYL1 could matter depends on whether native SCYL1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

SCYL1 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 SCYL1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
