OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes an enzyme which is involved in the initial stages of the synthesis of bile acids from cholesterol and a member of the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase superfamily. The encoded protein is a membrane-associated endoplasmic reticulum protein which is active against 7-alpha hydrosylated sterol substrates. Mutations in this gene are associated with a congenital bile acid synthesis defect which leads to neonatal cholestasis, a form of progressive liver disease. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against HSD3B7 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 HSD3B7 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against HSD3B7 could matter depends on whether native HSD3B7 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

HSD3B7 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 HSD3B7 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
