OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the SLC12A transporter family. The encoded protein mediates the coupled movement of potassium and chloride ions across the plasma membrane. This gene is expressed ubiquitously. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against SLC12A4 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 SLC12A4 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SLC12A4 could matter depends on whether native SLC12A4 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

SLC12A4 is annotated at the cell surface, where native SLC12A4 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 SLC12A4 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
