OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the steroid 5-alpha reductase family, and polyprenol reductase subfamily. It is involved in the production of androgen 5-alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) from testosterone, and maintenance of the androgen-androgen receptor activation pathway. This protein is also necessary for the conversion of polyprenol into dolichol, which is required for the synthesis of dolichol-linked monosaccharides and the oligosaccharide precursor used for N-linked glycosylation of proteins. Mutations in this gene are associated with congenital disorder of glycosylation type Iq. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against SRD5A3 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 SRD5A3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SRD5A3 could matter depends on whether native SRD5A3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

SRD5A3 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 SRD5A3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
