OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a sterile alpha motif domain-containing protein. The encoded protein localizes to the cytoplasm and may play a role in regulating cell proliferation and apoptosis. Mutations in this gene are the cause of normophosphatemic familial tumoral calcinosis. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same protein.[provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against SAMD9 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 SAMD9 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SAMD9 could matter depends on whether native SAMD9 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

SAMD9 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 SAMD9 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
