OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the junctional adhesion molecule (JAM) family. The encoded protein contains multiple glycosylation sites at the N-terminal region, and multiple phosphorylation sites and glutamic acid/proline (EP) repeats at the C-terminal region. The gene is expressed in normal stomach and testis, as well as in gastric, esophageal and ovarian cancers. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against VSIG1 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 VSIG1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against VSIG1 could matter depends on whether native VSIG1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

VSIG1 is annotated at the cell surface, where native VSIG1 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label VSIG1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
