OverviewNCBI Gene

The product of this gene belongs to the WD-repeat TAF5 family of proteins. This gene encodes a protein that is a component of the PCAF histone acetylase complex. The PCAF histone acetylase complex, which is composed of more than 20 polypeptides some of which are TAFs, is required for myogenic transcription and differentiation. TAFs may participate in basal transcription, serve as coactivators, function in promoter recognition or modify general transcription factors to facilitate complex assembly and transcription initiation. The encoded protein is structurally similar to one of the histone-like TAFs, TAF5. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against TAF5L 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 TAF5L as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against TAF5L could matter depends on whether native TAF5L is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

TAF5L 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 TAF5L as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
