OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Kruppel family of zinc finger DNA binding proteins. The encoded protein activates transcription of the T-cell receptor and intestinal alkaline phosphatase genes but represses transcription of the ornithine decarboxylase, vimentin, gastrin, stomelysin, and enolase genes. Increased expression of this gene results in decreased patient survival rates from colorectal cancer, while mutations in this gene have been associated with global developmental delay, hypoplastic corpus callosum, and dysmorphic facies.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ZNF148 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 ZNF148 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ZNF148 could matter depends on whether native ZNF148 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ZNF148 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 ZNF148 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
