OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a protein containing a glutaredoxin domain, which functions in protein S-glutathionylation. A mutation in this gene was found in a family with autoosomal recessive nonsyndromic sensorineural deafness-101. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2014]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against GRXCR2 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 GRXCR2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against GRXCR2 could matter depends on whether native GRXCR2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

GRXCR2 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 GRXCR2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
