OverviewNCBI Gene

The NF-kappa-B (NFKB) complex of proteins is inhibited by I-kappa-B (IKB) proteins, which inactivate NFKB by trapping it in the cytoplasm. Phosphorylation of serine residues on the IKB proteins by IKB kinases marks them for destruction via the ubiquitination pathway, thereby allowing activation and nuclear translocation of the NFKB complex. The protein encoded by this gene is similar to IKB kinases and can mediate NFKB activation in response to certain growth factors. The protein is also an important kinase for antiviral innate immunity response. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2021]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against TBK1 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 TBK1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against TBK1 could matter depends on whether native TBK1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

TBK1 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 TBK1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
