OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the Slitrk family of structurally related transmembrane proteins that are involved in controlling neurite outgrowth. The encoded protein contains two leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domains and a C-terminal domain that is partially similar to Trk neurotrophin receptor protein. Enhanced expression of this gene was found in tissue from several different types of tumors. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, all encoding the same protein.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against SLITRK3 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 SLITRK3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SLITRK3 could matter depends on whether native SLITRK3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

SLITRK3 is annotated at the cell surface, where native SLITRK3 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 SLITRK3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
