OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the tigger subfamily of the pogo superfamily of DNA-mediated transposons in humans. These proteins are related to DNA transposons found in fungi and nematodes, and more distantly to the Tc1 and mariner transposases. They are also very similar to the major mammalian centromere protein B. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against TIGD6 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 TIGD6 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against TIGD6 could matter depends on whether native TIGD6 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

TIGD6 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 TIGD6 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
