OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the immunophilin protein family, which play a role in immunoregulation and basic cellular processes involving protein folding and trafficking. This encoded protein is a cis-trans prolyl isomerase that binds the immunosuppressants FK506 and rapamycin. It is thought to function as an ER chaperone and may also act as a component of membrane cytoskeletal scaffolds. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against FKBP2 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

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 FKBP2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against FKBP2 could matter depends on whether native FKBP2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

FKBP2 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 FKBP2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
