OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the tyrosine protein kinase family. Tyrosine protein kinases are important regulators of intracellular signal transduction pathways, mediating cellular proliferation, survival, and development. This gene is highly expressed in fetal tissues and at lower levels in few adult tissues, thus may function in signaling pathways utilized broadly during fetal development, and more selectively in adult tissues. It plays a negative regulatory role in the Ras-Raf1-MAPK pathway, and knockout mice have been shown to develop spontaneous tumors, suggesting a role as a tumor suppressor gene. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads TNK1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against TNK1 could matter depends on whether native TNK1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

TNK1 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 TNK1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
