OverviewNCBI Gene

ZGLP1 encodes an evolutionary conserved transcriptional regulator with GATA-like zinc fingers. In females, it is expressed in embryonic germ cells and is essential for oogenic fate determination. It acts downstream of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) and is involved in the regulation of genes involved in RNA processing, transcription and chromatin modification, retrotransposon regulation, meiotic cell cycle, and oocyte development. In males it is not required for the germ cell sex determination but is required by the spermatogonia for efficiently completing the meiotic prophase. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2022]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ZGLP1 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 ZGLP1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ZGLP1 could matter depends on whether native ZGLP1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ZGLP1 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 ZGLP1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
