OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a zinc finger protein containing a KRAB domain. Studies in mouse suggest that this protein may function as a transcriptional repressor. Mutations in this gene have been associated with transient neonatal diabetes mellitus type 1 (TNDM1).[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ZFP57 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 ZFP57 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ZFP57 could matter depends on whether native ZFP57 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ZFP57 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 ZFP57 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
