OverviewNCBI Gene

SYS1 forms a complex with ADP-ribosylation factor-related protein ARFRP1 (MIM 604699) and targets ARFRP1 to the Golgi apparatus (Behnia et al., 2004 [PubMed 15077113]).[supplied by OMIM, Aug 2009]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against SYS1 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 SYS1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SYS1 could matter depends on whether native SYS1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

SYS1 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 SYS1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
