OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Ig superfamily of cell adhesion molecules and is involved in neuronal differentiation. The encoded membrane-bound protein localizes to the cell surface, where it forms aggregates that repel neuronal processes of the same cell type. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads DSCAML1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against DSCAML1 could matter depends on whether native DSCAML1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

DSCAML1 is annotated at the cell surface, where native DSCAML1 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 DSCAML1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.

Canonical record: https://seroatlas.com/gene/DSCAML1. Study-independent annotations aggregated from UniProt, Human Protein Atlas, PubMed, IEDB, Pfam, InterPro, Gene Ontology, AlphaFold, gnomAD, DepMap, ClinVar, TCGA. Catalog release seroatlas-reviewed-human-uniprot-20260313.

Seroatlas is the reference for exploring autoantibody and antibody serology at the human-protein level: the autoreactome and human serome, multiplex serology (HuProt, HuScan, VirScan, PhIP-Seq).
