OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene is a member of KDWK gene family. The product of this gene associates with GMEB1 protein, and the complex is essential for parvovirus DNA replication. Study of rat homolog implicates the role of this gene in modulation of transactivation by the glucocorticoid receptor bound to glucocorticoid response elements. This gene appears to use multiple polyadenylation sites. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against GMEB2 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 GMEB2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against GMEB2 could matter depends on whether native GMEB2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

GMEB2 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 GMEB2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
