OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for the ARF family of small GTP-binding proteins. The encoded protein is a component of the postsynaptic density at excitatory synapses, and may play a critical role in cytoskeletal and synaptic organization through the activation of selected ARF substrates including ARF1 and ARF6. Mutations in this gene have been implicated in nonsyndromic X-linked cognitive disability. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads IQSEC2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against IQSEC2 could matter depends on whether native IQSEC2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
IQSEC2 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 IQSEC2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
