OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is required for the formation of O-acetylated (Ac) gangliosides. The encoded protein is predicted to contain 6 to 10 transmembrane domains, and a leucine zipper motif in transmembrane domain III. Defects in this gene have been reported to cause spastic paraplegia autosomal dominant type 42 (SPG42) in one Chinese family, but not in similar patients of European descent. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against SLC33A1 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 SLC33A1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SLC33A1 could matter depends on whether native SLC33A1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

SLC33A1 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 SLC33A1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
