OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes a member of the Sp subfamily of Sp/XKLF transcription factors. Sp family proteins are sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins characterized by an amino-terminal trans-activation domain and three carboxy-terminal zinc finger motifs. This protein is a bone specific transcription factor and is required for osteoblast differentiation and bone formation.[provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]

Whether an antibody against SP7 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 SP7 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SP7 could matter depends on whether native SP7 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
SP7 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 SP7 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
