OverviewNCBI Gene

Zinc finger proteins (ZNFs) bind DNA and, through this binding, regulate gene transcription. Most ZNFs contain conserved C2H2 motifs and are classified as Kruppel-type zinc fingers. For a general description of these proteins, see ZNF91 (MIM 603971).[supplied by OMIM, Jul 2002]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ZNF443 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 ZNF443 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ZNF443 could matter depends on whether native ZNF443 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ZNF443 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 ZNF443 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
