OverviewNCBI Gene
Syntrophins are cytoplasmic peripheral membrane scaffold proteins that are components of the dystrophin-associated protein complex. This gene is a member of the syntrophin gene family and encodes the most common syntrophin isoform found in cardiac tissues. The N-terminal PDZ domain of this syntrophin protein interacts with the C-terminus of the pore-forming alpha subunit (SCN5A) of the cardiac sodium channel Nav1.5. This protein also associates cardiac sodium channels with the nitric oxide synthase-PMCA4b (plasma membrane Ca-ATPase subtype 4b) complex in cardiomyocytes. This gene is a susceptibility locus for Long-QT syndrome (LQT) - an inherited disorder associated with sudden cardiac death from arrhythmia - and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). This protein also associates with dystrophin and dystrophin-related proteins at the neuromuscular junction and alters intracellular calcium ion levels in muscle tissue. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads SNTA1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SNTA1 could matter depends on whether native SNTA1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
SNTA1 is annotated at the cell surface, where native SNTA1 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 SNTA1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
