OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes a protein which participates in protein translation in mitochondria. Mutations in this gene have been associated with combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency resulting in lactic acidosis and fatal encephalopathy. A pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 17. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads TUFM as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against TUFM could matter depends on whether native TUFM is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
TUFM 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 TUFM as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
