OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a nuclear protein that binds the E3 ubiquitin ligase SMURF2. Upon binding, this complex translocates to the cytoplasm, where it interacts with TGF-beta receptor type-1 (TGFBR1), leading to the degradation of both the encoded protein and TGFBR1. Expression of this gene is induced by TGFBR1. Variations in this gene are a cause of susceptibility to colorectal cancer type 3 (CRCS3). Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against SMAD7 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 SMAD7 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SMAD7 could matter depends on whether native SMAD7 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

SMAD7 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 SMAD7 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
