OverviewNCBI Gene

SIM1 and SIM2 genes are Drosophila single-minded (sim) gene homologs. SIM1 transcript was detected only in fetal kidney out of various adult and fetal tissues tested. Since the sim gene plays an important role in Drosophila development and has peak levels of expression during the period of neurogenesis,it was proposed that the human SIM gene is a candidate for involvement in certain dysmorphic features (particularly the facial and skull characteristics), abnormalities of brain development, and/or cognitive disability of Down syndrome.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against SIM1 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 SIM1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SIM1 could matter depends on whether native SIM1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

SIM1 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 SIM1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
