OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene belongs to the clarin family of genes. The clarins appear to belong to a large superfamily of small integral membrane glycoproteins with four transmembrane domains. The exact function of this gene is unknown. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CLRN2 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 CLRN2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CLRN2 could matter depends on whether native CLRN2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CLRN2 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 CLRN2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
