OverviewNCBI Gene

This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring zinc fingers and homeoboxes 1 (ZHX1) and chromosome 8 open reading frame 76 (C8orf76) genes. The read-through transcript encodes a protein that shares sequence identity with the downstream gene, but it has a distinct N-terminus encoded by exon structure from the upstream gene.

Genetic constraint and essentialitygnomAD · DepMap

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads ZHX1-C8orf76 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ZHX1-C8orf76 could matter depends on whether native ZHX1-C8orf76 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ZHX1-C8orf76 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 ZHX1-C8orf76 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
