OverviewNCBI Gene

Zinc-finger proteins bind nucleic acids and play important roles in various cellular functions, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. This gene encodes a LIM-domain zinc finger protein. The LIM domain is composed of two contiguous zinc finger domains, separated by a two-amino acid residue hydrophobic linker. The LIM domain mediates protein:protein interactions. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ZNF185 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 ZNF185 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ZNF185 could matter depends on whether native ZNF185 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ZNF185 is annotated at the cell surface, where native ZNF185 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label ZNF185 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
