OverviewNCBI Gene

BLOC1S1 is a component of the ubiquitously expressed BLOC1 multisubunit protein complex. BLOC1 is required for normal biogenesis of specialized organelles of the endosomal-lysosomal system, such as melanosomes and platelet dense granules (Starcevic and Dell'Angelica, 2004 [PubMed 15102850]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against BLOC1S1 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads BLOC1S1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against BLOC1S1 could matter depends on whether native BLOC1S1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

BLOC1S1 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 BLOC1S1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
