OverviewNCBI Gene

The general transcription factor IIE (TFIIE) is part of the RNA polymerase II transcription initiation complex, recruiting TFIIH and being essential for promoter clearance by RNA polymerase II. TFIIE is a heterodimer (and sometimes heterotetramer) of alpha and beta subunits. The protein encoded by this gene represents the beta subunit of TFIIE. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2017]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against GTF2E2 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 GTF2E2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against GTF2E2 could matter depends on whether native GTF2E2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

GTF2E2 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 GTF2E2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
