OverviewNCBI Gene
Enables amyloid-beta binding activity; scavenger receptor binding activity; and signaling receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to amyloid-beta; positive regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade; and regulation of defense response. Located in cytoplasm and plasma membrane.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads FPR2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against FPR2 could matter depends on whether native FPR2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
FPR2 is annotated at the cell surface, where native FPR2 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 FPR2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
