OverviewNCBI Gene
Enables K63-linked polyubiquitin modification-dependent protein binding activity; protein heterodimerization activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; nucleobase-containing compound biosynthetic process; and protein homooligomerization. Located in nuclear body and nuclear membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein binding partners of ZBTB1 in the human serome: UniProt-annotated complex subunits plus reported interactors. Each links to its own Seroatlas record.
Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads ZBTB1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ZBTB1 could matter depends on whether native ZBTB1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
ZBTB1 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 ZBTB1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
