OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a conserved serine/threonine kinase that is a member of the homeodomain-interacting protein kinase family. The encoded protein interacts with homeodomain transcription factors and many other transcription factors such as p53, and can function as both a corepressor and a coactivator depending on the transcription factor and its subcellular localization. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against HIPK2 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 HIPK2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against HIPK2 could matter depends on whether native HIPK2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

HIPK2 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 HIPK2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
