OverviewNCBI Gene

The product of this gene belongs to the diaphanous subfamily of the formin homology family of proteins. This gene may play a role in the development and normal function of the ovaries. Defects in this gene have been linked to premature ovarian failure 2. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against DIAPH2 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 DIAPH2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against DIAPH2 could matter depends on whether native DIAPH2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

DIAPH2 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 DIAPH2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
