OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene represents a member of the formin family of proteins. It is considered a diaphanous formin due to the presence of a diaphanous inhibitory domain located at the N-terminus of the encoded protein. Studies of a similar mouse protein indicate that the protein encoded by this locus may function in polymerization and depolymerization of actin filaments. Mutations at this locus have been associated with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis 5.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against INF2 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 INF2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against INF2 could matter depends on whether native INF2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

INF2 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 INF2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
