OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes an enzyme which catalyzes the sulfation of chondroitin, a proteoglycan found in the extracellular matrix and most cells which is involved in cell migration and differentiation. Mutations in this gene are associated with spondylepiphyseal dysplasia and humerospinal dysostosis. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CHST3 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 CHST3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CHST3 could matter depends on whether native CHST3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CHST3 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 CHST3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
