OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes the delta subunit of the translocon-associated protein complex which is involved in translocating proteins across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. The encoded protein is located in the Xq28 region and is arranged in a compact head-to-head manner with the isocitrate dehydrogenase 3 (NAD+) gamma gene and both genes are driven by a CpG-embedded bidirectional promoter. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against SSR4 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 SSR4 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SSR4 could matter depends on whether native SSR4 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

SSR4 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 SSR4 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
