OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a secreted lung surfactant protein and a downstream target of thyroid transcription factor. A single nucleotide polymorphism in the promoter of this gene results in susceptibility to asthma.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against SCGB3A2 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Genetic constraint and essentialitygnomAD · DepMap

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads SCGB3A2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SCGB3A2 could matter depends on whether native SCGB3A2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

SCGB3A2 is annotated as secreted, so native SCGB3A2 circulates and is directly accessible to antibodies. Secreted and cell-surface proteins are the autoantibody targets most likely to act like drugs, blocking or depleting the native protein.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label SCGB3A2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
