OverviewNCBI Gene
ETS2 is a transcription factor and protooncogene involved in development, apoptosis, and the regulation of telomerase. The protein encoded by this gene binds to the ETS2 promoter and is a strong repressor of ETS2 transcription. Several transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene.

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