OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes a member of the major facilitator superfamily. The encoded transmembrane protein is a calcium transporter. Unlike the related protein feline leukemia virus subgroup C receptor 1, the protein encoded by this locus does not bind to feline leukemia virus subgroup C envelope protein. The encoded protein may play a role in development of brain vascular endothelial cells, as mutations at this locus have been associated with proliferative vasculopathy and hydranencephaly-hydrocephaly syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]

Whether an antibody against FLVCR2 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 FLVCR2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against FLVCR2 could matter depends on whether native FLVCR2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
FLVCR2 is annotated at the cell surface, where native FLVCR2 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.
Annotation status
The present source text does not explicitly label FLVCR2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
