OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes one of four nuclear-encoded subunits that comprise succinate dehydrogenase, also known as mitochondrial complex II, a key enzyme complex of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and aerobic respiratory chains of mitochondria. The encoded protein is one of two integral membrane proteins that anchor other subunits of the complex, which form the catalytic core, to the inner mitochondrial membrane. There are several related pseudogenes for this gene on different chromosomes. Mutations in this gene have been associated with paragangliomas. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

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