OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene is a member of the sclerostin family and encodes an N-glycosylated, secreted protein with a C-terminal cystine knot-like domain. This protein functions as a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) antagonist. Specifically, it directly associates with BMPs, prohibiting them from binding their receptors, thereby regulating BMP signaling during cellular proliferation, differentiation, and programmed cell death.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against SOSTDC1 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Genetic constraint and essentialitygnomAD · DepMap

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads SOSTDC1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SOSTDC1 could matter depends on whether native SOSTDC1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

SOSTDC1 is annotated as secreted, so native SOSTDC1 circulates and is directly accessible to antibodies. Secreted and cell-surface proteins are the autoantibody targets most likely to act like drugs, blocking or depleting the native protein.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label SOSTDC1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
