OverviewNCBI Gene

SLC25A37 is a solute carrier localized in the mitochondrial inner membrane. It functions as an essential iron importer for the synthesis of mitochondrial heme and iron-sulfur clusters (summary by Chen et al., 2009 [PubMed 19805291]).[supplied by OMIM, Jan 2011]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against SLC25A37 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Genetic constraint and essentialitygnomAD · DepMap

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads SLC25A37 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SLC25A37 could matter depends on whether native SLC25A37 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

SLC25A37 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 SLC25A37 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
