OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is similar to that of KIP/CIB, calcineurin B, and calmodulin. The encoded protein is a calcium-binding regulatory protein that interacts with DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunits (DNA-PKcs), and it is involved in photoreceptor cell maintenance. Mutations in this gene cause deafness, autosomal recessive, 48 (DFNB48), and also Usher syndrome 1J (USH1J). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CIB2 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 CIB2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CIB2 could matter depends on whether native CIB2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CIB2 is annotated at the cell surface, where native CIB2 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label CIB2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
