OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is found in the cytoplasm of quiescent cells but translocates to the nucleolus in proliferating cells. The encoded protein interacts with survival motor neuron protein (SMN1) to enhance pre-mRNA splicing and to induce neuronal differentiation and axonal growth. Defects in this gene or the SMN1 gene can cause spinal muscular atrophy. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ZPR1 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 ZPR1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ZPR1 could matter depends on whether native ZPR1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ZPR1 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 ZPR1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
