OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a GTP-binding protein known to function in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. Read-through transcripts containing this gene and a downstream gene have been identified, but they are not thought to encode a fusion protein. This gene is located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against DRG2 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Genetic constraint and essentialitygnomAD · DepMap

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads DRG2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against DRG2 could matter depends on whether native DRG2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

DRG2 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 DRG2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
