OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the heparan sulfate/heparin GlcNAc N-deacetylase/ N-sulfotransferase family. The encoded enzyme is a type II transmembrane protein that resides in the Golgi apparatus. The encoded protein catalyzes the transfer of sulfate from 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate to nitrogen of glucosamine in heparan sulfate. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against NDST1 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 NDST1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against NDST1 could matter depends on whether native NDST1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

NDST1 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 NDST1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
