OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the SMAD pathway, which regulates cell growth and differentiation through transforming growth factor-beta (TGFB). In the absence of ligand, the encoded protein binds to the promoter region of TGFB-responsive genes and recruits a nuclear repressor complex. TGFB signaling causes SMAD3 to enter the nucleus and degrade this protein, allowing these genes to be activated. Four transcript variants encoding three different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

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

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