OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a zinc finger transcription factor that may play a role in eye development. Defects in this gene have been associated with high myopia. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ZNF644 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 ZNF644 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ZNF644 could matter depends on whether native ZNF644 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ZNF644 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 ZNF644 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
