OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the p53 family of transcription factors involved in cellular responses to stress and development. It maps to a region on chromosome 1p36 that is frequently deleted in neuroblastoma and other tumors, and thought to contain multiple tumor suppressor genes. The demonstration that this gene is monoallelically expressed (likely from the maternal allele), supports the notion that it is a candidate gene for neuroblastoma. Many transcript variants resulting from alternative splicing and/or use of alternate promoters have been found for this gene, but the biological validity and the full-length nature of some variants have not been determined.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against TP73 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 TP73 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against TP73 could matter depends on whether native TP73 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

TP73 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 TP73 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
