OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a Kruppel-related zinc finger protein which is characterized by the presence of an N-terminal repressor domain, the Kruppel-associated box (KRAB). The KRAB domain is a potent repressor of transcription; thus this protein may function in transcription regulation. Multiple transcript variants have been found for this gene.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads ZNF160 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ZNF160 could matter depends on whether native ZNF160 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ZNF160 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 ZNF160 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
