OverviewNCBI Gene

Glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase is a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme which exists in cytoplasmic and inner-membrane mitochondrial forms, GOT1 and GOT2, respectively. GOT plays a role in amino acid metabolism and the urea and tricarboxylic acid cycles. The two enzymes are homodimeric and show close homology. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2013]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against GOT2 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 GOT2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against GOT2 could matter depends on whether native GOT2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

GOT2 is annotated at the cell surface, where native GOT2 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 GOT2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
