OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a coiled-coil domain containing protein. The encoded protein may play a critical role in actin-cytoskeletal reorganization during facial morphogenesis. Mutations in this gene are a cause of oblique facial clefting-1. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. A read-through transcript composed of SPECC1L (sperm antigen with calponin homology and coiled-coil domains 1-like) and the downstream ADORA2A (adenosine A2a receptor) gene sequence has been identified, but it is thought to be non-coding.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against SPECC1L 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 SPECC1L as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SPECC1L could matter depends on whether native SPECC1L is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

SPECC1L is annotated at the cell surface, where native SPECC1L is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label SPECC1L as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
