OverviewNCBI Gene
The protein encoded by this gene is the alpha subunit of the heterodimeric receptor for colony stimulating factor 2, a cytokine which controls the production, differentiation, and function of granulocytes and macrophages. The encoded protein is a member of the cytokine family of receptors. This gene is found in the pseudoautosomal region (PAR) of the X and Y chromosomes. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene, with some of the isoforms being membrane-bound and others being soluble. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Whether an antibody against CSF2RA 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 CSF2RA as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CSF2RA could matter depends on whether native CSF2RA is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
CSF2RA is annotated at the cell surface, where native CSF2RA 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 CSF2RA as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
