OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes a protein that is expressed in the brain and may function in neuronal migration, based on functional studies of the related astrotactin 1 gene in human and mouse. A deletion at this locus has been associated with schizophrenia. Multiple transcript variants encoding different proteins have been found for this locus. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads ASTN2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ASTN2 could matter depends on whether native ASTN2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
ASTN2 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 ASTN2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
