OverviewNCBI Gene

The ZNF91 gene encodes a zinc finger protein of the KRAB (Kruppel-associated box) subfamily (Bellefroid et al., 1991, 1993 [PubMed 2023909] [PubMed 8467795]).[supplied by OMIM, May 2010]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads ZNF91 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ZNF91 could matter depends on whether native ZNF91 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ZNF91 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 ZNF91 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.

Canonical record: https://seroatlas.com/gene/ZNF91. 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).
