OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the tripartite motif (TRIM) family. The TRIM motif includes three zinc-binding domains, a RING, a B-box type 1 and a B-box type 2, and a coiled-coil region. The protein localizes to cytoplasmic bodies. Although the function of the protein is unknown, the RING domain suggests that the protein may have DNA-binding activity. The gene localizes to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I region on chromosome 6. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against TRIM26 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 TRIM26 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against TRIM26 could matter depends on whether native TRIM26 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

TRIM26 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 TRIM26 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
