OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the Gal/GalNAc/GlcNAc 6-O-sulfotransferase (GST) family, members of which catalyze the transfer of sulfate to position 6 of galactose (Gal), N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc), or N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residues within proteoglycans, and sulfation of O-linked sugars of mucin-type acceptors. Carbohydrate sulfation plays a critical role in many biologic processes. This gene is predominantly expressed in colon and small intestine. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CHST5 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 CHST5 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CHST5 could matter depends on whether native CHST5 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CHST5 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 CHST5 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
