OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene was isolated initially from a region on chromosome 1p that is frequently deleted in human neuroblastoma, although no causal relationship has since been demonstrated. The encoded protein belongs to the glycoside-pentoside-hexuronide cation symporter transporter family and may play a role in glucose uptake. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against SLC45A1 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 SLC45A1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SLC45A1 could matter depends on whether native SLC45A1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

SLC45A1 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 SLC45A1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
