OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the glycosyltransferase 1 family. The encoded protein acts as an alpha 1,3 mannosyltransferase, mannosylating Man(2)GlcNAc(2)-dolichol diphosphate and Man(1)GlcNAc(2)-dolichol diphosphate to form Man(3)GlcNAc(2)-dolichol diphosphate. Defects in this gene have been associated with congenital disorder of glycosylation type Ih (CDG-Ii). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ALG2 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 ALG2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ALG2 could matter depends on whether native ALG2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ALG2 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 ALG2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
