OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a transcription termination factor that is localized to the nucleolus and plays a critical role in ribosomal gene transcription. The encoded protein mediates the termination of RNA polymerase I transcription by binding to Sal box terminator elements downstream of pre-rRNA coding regions. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. This gene shares the symbol/alias 'TFF1' with another gene, NK2 homeobox 1, also known as thyroid transcription factor 1, which plays a role in the regulation of thyroid-specific gene expression.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads TTF1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against TTF1 could matter depends on whether native TTF1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

TTF1 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 TTF1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
