OverviewNCBI Gene
Enables RNA binding activity. Involved in maintenance of gastrointestinal epithelium and spliceosomal snRNP assembly. Acts upstream of with a positive effect on negative regulation of transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway. Located in cytosol. Part of SMN complex. Implicated in adenocarcinoma; colorectal carcinoma; large cell carcinoma; lung carcinoma; and squamous cell neoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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

Genetic constraint and essentialitygnomAD · DepMap
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 STRAP as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against STRAP could matter depends on whether native STRAP is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
STRAP 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 STRAP as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
