OverviewNCBI Gene

Zinc finger proteins (ZNFs), which bind nucleic acids, perform many key functions, the most important of which is regulating transcription. See ZNF91 (MIM 603971) for general information on ZNFs.[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ZNF628 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 ZNF628 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ZNF628 could matter depends on whether native ZNF628 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ZNF628 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 ZNF628 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.

Canonical record: https://seroatlas.com/gene/ZNF628. 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.
