OverviewNCBI Gene
The protein encoded by this gene represents the alpha subunit of a cyclic nucleotide-gated olfactory channel. The encoded protein contains a carboxy-terminal leucine zipper that mediates channel formation. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads CNGA2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CNGA2 could matter depends on whether native CNGA2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
CNGA2 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 CNGA2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
