OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene contains a type 1 thrombospondin domain, which is present in thrombospondin, a number of proteins involved in the complement pathway, as well as in extracellular matrix proteins. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against ISM2 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads ISM2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ISM2 could matter depends on whether native ISM2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ISM2 is annotated as secreted, so native ISM2 circulates and is directly accessible to antibodies. Secreted and cell-surface proteins are the autoantibody targets most likely to act like drugs, blocking or depleting the native protein.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label ISM2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
