OverviewNCBI Gene
Adenylate kinases are involved in regulating the adenine nucleotide composition within a cell by catalyzing the reversible transfer of phosphate groups among adenine nucleotides. Three isozymes of adenylate kinase, namely 1, 2, and 3, have been identified in vertebrates; this gene encodes isozyme 2. Expression of these isozymes is tissue-specific and developmentally regulated. Isozyme 2 is localized in the mitochondrial intermembrane space and may play a role in apoptosis. Mutations in this gene are the cause of reticular dysgenesis. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosomes 1 and 2.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads AK2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against AK2 could matter depends on whether native AK2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
AK2 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 AK2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
