OverviewNCBI Gene

SLCO4C1 belongs to the organic anion transporter (OATP) family. OATPs are involved in the membrane transport of bile acids, conjugated steroids, thyroid hormone, eicosanoids, peptides, and numerous drugs in many tissues (Mikkaichi et al., 2004 [PubMed 14993604]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against SLCO4C1 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 SLCO4C1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SLCO4C1 could matter depends on whether native SLCO4C1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

SLCO4C1 is annotated at the cell surface, where native SLCO4C1 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 SLCO4C1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
