OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene is a member of the diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2 family. The encoded protein is a putative acyltransferase and is most likely involved in the synthesis of di- or triacylglycerol, however its substrate specificity is currently unknown. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2015]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against DGAT2L6 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 DGAT2L6 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against DGAT2L6 could matter depends on whether native DGAT2L6 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

DGAT2L6 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 DGAT2L6 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
