OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the sorting nexin family. Members of this family contain a phox (PX) domain, which is a phosphoinositide binding domain, and are involved in intracellular trafficking. This protein does not contain a coiled coil region, like some family members, but contains a SH3 domain. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against SNX18 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 SNX18 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SNX18 could matter depends on whether native SNX18 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

SNX18 is annotated at the cell surface, where native SNX18 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 SNX18 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
