OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a homeodomain-containing transcription factor that appears to function in the regulation of organogenesis. This gene is located downstream of the dystrophia myotonica-protein kinase gene. Mutations in this gene are a cause of branchiootorenal syndrome type 2. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2009]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against SIX5 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 SIX5 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SIX5 could matter depends on whether native SIX5 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

SIX5 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 SIX5 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
