OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes the enzyme sulfamidase; one of several enzymes involved in the lysosomal degradation of heparan sulfate. Mutations in this gene are associated with the lysosomal storage disease mucopolysaccaridosis IIIA, also known as Sanfilippo syndrome A, which results from impaired degradation of heparan sulfate. Transcripts of varying sizes have been reported but their biological validity has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2017]

Whether an antibody against SGSH 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 SGSH as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SGSH could matter depends on whether native SGSH is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
SGSH 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 SGSH as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
