OverviewNCBI Gene

The scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) superfamily is an ancient and highly conserved group of cell surface and/or secreted proteins, some of which are involved in the development of the immune system and the regulation of both innate and adaptive immune responses. Group B SRCR domains usually contain 8 regularly spaced cysteines that give rise to a well-defined intradomain disulfide-bond pattern.[supplied by OMIM, Apr 2004]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against SSC4D can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

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 SSC4D as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SSC4D could matter depends on whether native SSC4D is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

SSC4D is annotated as secreted, so native SSC4D 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 SSC4D as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
