OverviewNCBI Gene

ST6GALNAC3 belongs to a family of sialyltransferases that transfer sialic acids from CMP-sialic acid to terminal positions of carbohydrate groups in glycoproteins and glycolipids (Lee et al., 1999 [PubMed 10207017]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ST6GALNAC3 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 ST6GALNAC3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ST6GALNAC3 could matter depends on whether native ST6GALNAC3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ST6GALNAC3 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 ST6GALNAC3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
