OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene shares high similarity with the Drosophila Scm (sex comb on midleg) gene. It encodes a protein which contains four malignant brain tumor repeat (mbt) domains and may be involved in antigen recognition. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2012]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against SFMBT1 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 SFMBT1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SFMBT1 could matter depends on whether native SFMBT1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

SFMBT1 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 SFMBT1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
