OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a nuclear protein that belongs to the family of Kruppel-like C2H2 zinc finger proteins. It functions as a DNA-binding transcription factor by using distinct zinc fingers in different signaling pathways. Thus, it is thought that this gene may have multiple roles in signal transduction during development. Mutations in this gene are associated with nephronophthisis-14 and Joubert syndrome-19. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2012]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ZNF423 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 ZNF423 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ZNF423 could matter depends on whether native ZNF423 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ZNF423 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 ZNF423 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
