OverviewNCBI Gene
Predicted to enable receptor tyrosine kinase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cell surface receptor protein tyrosine kinase signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including apoptotic process; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and stem cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in postsynaptic membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Whether an antibody against SHC4 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 SHC4 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SHC4 could matter depends on whether native SHC4 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
SHC4 is annotated at the cell surface, where native SHC4 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 SHC4 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
