OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene is a member of the glycosyltransferase 1 family. The encoded protein and ALG13 are thought to be subunits of UDP-GlcNAc transferase, which catalyzes the first two committed steps in endoplasmic reticulum N-linked glycosylation. Mutations in this gene have been linked to congenital myasthenic syndrome (CMSWTA). Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2015]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ALG14 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 ALG14 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ALG14 could matter depends on whether native ALG14 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ALG14 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 ALG14 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
