OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene is a member of the GRB2-associated binding protein (GAB) gene family. These proteins contain pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, and bind SHP2 tyrosine phosphatase and GRB2 adapter protein. They act as adapters for transmitting various signals in response to stimuli through cytokine and growth factor receptors, and T- and B-cell antigen receptors. The protein encoded by this gene is the principal activator of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase in response to activation of the high affinity IgE receptor. Two alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against GAB2 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 GAB2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against GAB2 could matter depends on whether native GAB2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

GAB2 is annotated at the cell surface, where native GAB2 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 GAB2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
