OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene contains CAG trinucleotide repeats and encodes a protein containing several stretches of polyglutamine residues. The encoded protein may be involved in the regulation of tyrosine kinase receptor signaling. This gene is located in a chromosomal region that was genetically linked to Parkinson disease type 11, and mutations in this gene were thought to be causative for this disease. However, more recent studies in different populations have been unable to replicate this association. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads GIGYF2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against GIGYF2 could matter depends on whether native GIGYF2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

GIGYF2 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 GIGYF2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
