OverviewNCBI Gene

This intronless gene encodes a member of the SOX (SRY-related HMG-box) family of transcription factors involved in the regulation of embryonic development and in the determination of the cell fate. The encoded protein may act as a transcriptional regulator after forming a protein complex with other proteins. Mutations in this gene are suggested to be responsible for the limb defects associated with blepharophimosis, ptosis, epicanthus inversus syndrome (BPES) and Mobius syndrome.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against SOX14 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

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 SOX14 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SOX14 could matter depends on whether native SOX14 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

SOX14 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 SOX14 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
