OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a short coiled-coiled domain-containing protein that localizes to the Golgi apparatus. The encoded protein interacts with ADP-ribosylation factor-like proteins. Pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosomes 1 and 14. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2009]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

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