OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a WD-repeat protein that binds the cytoplasmic sphingomyelinase activation domain of the 55kD tumor necrosis factor receptor. This protein is required for TNF-mediated activation of neutral sphingomyelinase and may play a role in regulating TNF-induced cellular responses such as inflammation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2009]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

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