OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a multipass membrane protein that functions as an iron transporter. The encoded protein can reduce both iron (Fe3+) and copper (Cu2+) cations. This protein may mediate downstream responses to p53, including promoting apoptosis. Deficiency in this gene can cause anemia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against STEAP3 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 STEAP3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against STEAP3 could matter depends on whether native STEAP3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

STEAP3 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 STEAP3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
