OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a nucleolar protein with a LIS1 homology domain. The protein is involved in ribosomal DNA gene transcription through its interaction with upstream binding factor (UBF). Mutations in this gene have been associated with Treacher Collins syndrome, a disorder which includes abnormal craniofacial development. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against TCOF1 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 TCOF1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against TCOF1 could matter depends on whether native TCOF1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

TCOF1 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 TCOF1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
