OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. This protein translocates glucose-6-phosphate from the cytoplasm into the lumen of the ER for hydrolysis into glucose by another ER membrane protein. This gene is a member of the solute carrier 37 gene family. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against SLC37A1 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 SLC37A1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SLC37A1 could matter depends on whether native SLC37A1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

SLC37A1 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 SLC37A1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
