OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase that plays an important role in cellular stress response. This kinase activates certain potassium, sodium, and chloride channels, suggesting an involvement in the regulation of processes such as cell survival, neuronal excitability, and renal sodium excretion. High levels of expression of this gene may contribute to conditions such as hypertension and diabetic nephropathy. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2009]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against SGK1 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 SGK1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SGK1 could matter depends on whether native SGK1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

SGK1 is annotated at the cell surface, where native SGK1 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label SGK1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
