OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a protein that is highly similar to the rat CaM-KII inhibitory protein, an inhibitor of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CAMKII). CAMKII regulates numerous physiological functions, including neuronal synaptic plasticity through the phosphorylation of alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid-type glutamate (AMPA) receptors. Studies of the similar protein in rat suggest that this protein may function as a negative regulator of CaM-KII and may act to inhibit the phosphorylation of AMPA receptors.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CAMK2N2 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 CAMK2N2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CAMK2N2 could matter depends on whether native CAMK2N2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CAMK2N2 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 CAMK2N2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
