OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene is a member of the K-Cl cotransporter (KCC) family. K-Cl cotransporters are integral membrane proteins that lower intracellular chloride concentrations below the electrochemical equilibrium potential. The proteins encoded by this gene are activated by cell swelling induced by hypotonic conditions. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. Mutations in this gene are associated with agenesis of the corpus callosum with peripheral neuropathy. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against SLC12A6 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 SLC12A6 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SLC12A6 could matter depends on whether native SLC12A6 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

SLC12A6 is annotated at the cell surface, where native SLC12A6 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 SLC12A6 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
