OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of sulfate esters by oxidizing a cysteine residue in the substrate sulfatase to an active site 3-oxoalanine residue, which is also known as C-alpha-formylglycine. Mutations in this gene cause multiple sulfatase deficiency, a lysosomal storage disorder. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

Whether an antibody against SUMF1 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 SUMF1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SUMF1 could matter depends on whether native SUMF1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
SUMF1 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 SUMF1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
