OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene contains a RING zinc finger, a motif known to be involved in protein-protein interactions. This gene has been found to be preferentially expressed in testis. Related pseudogenes and gene duplicates have also been identified on chromosome 11. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against TRIM49 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Genetic constraint and essentialitygnomAD · DepMap

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads TRIM49 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against TRIM49 could matter depends on whether native TRIM49 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

TRIM49 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 TRIM49 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
