OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene (IFNGR2) encodes the non-ligand-binding beta chain of the gamma interferon receptor. Human interferon-gamma receptor is a heterodimer of IFNGR1 and IFNGR2. Defects in IFNGR2 are a cause of mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease (MSMD), also known as familial disseminated atypical mycobacterial infection. MSMD is a genetically heterogeneous disease with autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant or X-linked inheritance. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against IFNGR2 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 IFNGR2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against IFNGR2 could matter depends on whether native IFNGR2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

IFNGR2 is annotated at the cell surface, where native IFNGR2 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 IFNGR2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
