OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is an A-type iron-sulfur cluster (ISC) protein found in mitochondria. The encoded protein appears to be involved in the maturation of mitochondrial iron-sulfur proteins. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ISCA2 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 ISCA2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ISCA2 could matter depends on whether native ISCA2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ISCA2 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 ISCA2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
