OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes electron-transfer-flavoprotein, beta polypeptide, which shuttles electrons between primary flavoprotein dehydrogenases involved in mitochondrial fatty acid and amino acid catabolism and the membrane-bound electron transfer flavoprotein ubiquinone oxidoreductase. The gene deficiencies have been implicated in type II glutaricaciduria. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

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