OverviewNCBI Gene

K-Cl cotransporters are proteins that lower intracellular chloride concentrations below the electrochemical equilibrium potential. The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane K-Cl cotransporter that can function in either a net efflux or influx pathway, depending on the chemical concentration gradients of potassium and chloride. The encoded protein can act as a homomultimer, or as a heteromultimer with other K-Cl cotransporters, to maintain chloride homeostasis in neurons. Alternative splicing results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against SLC12A5 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 SLC12A5 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SLC12A5 could matter depends on whether native SLC12A5 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

SLC12A5 is annotated at the cell surface, where native SLC12A5 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 SLC12A5 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
