OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a peripheral membrane protein localized to the trans-Golgi network. It is sensitive to brefeldin A. This encoded protein contains a GRIP domain which is thought to be used in targeting. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2009]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against GCC2 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 GCC2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against GCC2 could matter depends on whether native GCC2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

GCC2 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 GCC2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
