OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a protein with a domain similar to one found in dendritic cells (PMID:11169400) which play a key role in antigen processing and display for immune responses. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against DCST1 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 DCST1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against DCST1 could matter depends on whether native DCST1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

DCST1 is annotated at the cell surface, where native DCST1 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label DCST1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
