OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) and ADAMTS-like protein family. Members of the family share several distinct protein modules, including a propeptide region, a metalloproteinase domain, a disintegrin-like domain, and a thrombospondin type 1 (TS) motif. Individual members of this family differ in the number of C-terminal TS motifs, and some have unique C-terminal domains. The protein encoded by this gene lacks the protease domain, and is therefore of a member of the the ADAMTS-like protein subfamily. It is a secreted glycoprotein that binds the cell surface and extracellular matrix; it also interacts with latent transforming growth factor beta binding protein 1. Mutations in this gene have been associated with geleophysic dysplasia. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ADAMTSL2 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 ADAMTSL2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ADAMTSL2 could matter depends on whether native ADAMTSL2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ADAMTSL2 is annotated as secreted, so native ADAMTSL2 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 ADAMTSL2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
