OverviewNCBI Gene

This locus encodes a xylosyltransferase enzyme. The encoded protein catalyzes transfer of UDP-xylose to serine residues of an acceptor protein substrate. This transfer reaction is necessary for biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycan chains. Mutations in this gene have been associated with increased severity of pseudoxanthoma elasticum.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against XYLT1 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 XYLT1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against XYLT1 could matter depends on whether native XYLT1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

XYLT1 is annotated as secreted, so native XYLT1 circulates and is directly accessible to antibodies. Secreted and cell-surface proteins are the autoantibody targets most likely to act like drugs, blocking or depleting the native protein.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label XYLT1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
