OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the ferredoxin family. The encoded protein contains a 2Fe-2S ferredoxin-type domain and is essential for heme A and Fe/S protein biosynthesis. Mutation in FDX1L gene is associated with mitochondrial muscle myopathy. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2014]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against FDX2 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 FDX2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against FDX2 could matter depends on whether native FDX2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

FDX2 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 FDX2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
