OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a sodium/proton exchanger that is a member of the solute carrier 9 protein family. The encoded protein localizes the to the late recycling endosomes and may play an important role in maintaining cation homeostasis. Mutations in this gene are associated with autism susceptibility 16 and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against SLC9A9 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 SLC9A9 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SLC9A9 could matter depends on whether native SLC9A9 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

SLC9A9 is annotated at the cell surface, where native SLC9A9 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 SLC9A9 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
