OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a protein that contains KRAB-A and KRAB-B domains multiple zinc finger DNA binding motifs and finger linking regions characteristic of the Kruppel family. An initial study suggested that this gene may be associated with X-linked cognitive disability, but a later study has called this finding into question (PMID:23871722).[provided by RefSeq, Apr 2016]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads ZNF41 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ZNF41 could matter depends on whether native ZNF41 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ZNF41 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 ZNF41 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.

Canonical record: https://seroatlas.com/gene/ZNF41. Study-independent annotations aggregated from UniProt, Human Protein Atlas, PubMed, IEDB, Pfam, InterPro, Gene Ontology, AlphaFold, gnomAD, DepMap, ClinVar, TCGA. Catalog release seroatlas-reviewed-human-uniprot-20260313.

Seroatlas is the reference for exploring autoantibody and antibody serology at the human-protein level: the autoreactome and human serome, multiplex serology (HuProt, HuScan, VirScan, PhIP-Seq).
