OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the member of the SEC22 family of vesicle trafficking proteins. This protein has similarity to rat SEC22 and may act in the early stages of the secretory pathway. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against SEC22A 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 SEC22A as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SEC22A could matter depends on whether native SEC22A is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

SEC22A 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 SEC22A as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
