OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the zinc finger Kruppel family of transcriptional regulators, whose members are thought to function in normal and abnormal cell growth and differentiation. Hypermethylation of this gene is associated with the recurrence of non muscle invasive bladder cancer. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]

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 ZNF154 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ZNF154 could matter depends on whether native ZNF154 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ZNF154 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 ZNF154 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
