OverviewNCBI Gene

Deletions of the 22q11.2 have been associated with a wide range of developmental defects (notably DiGeorge syndrome, velocardiofacial syndrome, conotruncal anomaly face syndrome and isolated conotruncal cardiac defects) classified under the acronym CATCH 22. The DGCR2 gene encodes a novel putative adhesion receptor protein, which could play a role in neural crest cells migration, a process which has been proposed to be altered in DiGeorge syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against DGCR2 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 DGCR2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against DGCR2 could matter depends on whether native DGCR2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

DGCR2 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 DGCR2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
