OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. It was identified by its similarity to leukocyte-associated immunoglobulin-like receptor 1, a membrane-bound receptor that modulates innate immune response. The protein encoded by this locus is a soluble receptor that may play roles in both inhibition of collagen-induced platelet aggregation and vessel formation during placental implantation. This gene maps to a region of 19q13.4, termed the leukocyte receptor cluster, which contains 29 genes in the immunoglobulin superfamily. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against LAIR2 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 LAIR2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against LAIR2 could matter depends on whether native LAIR2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

LAIR2 is annotated as secreted, so native LAIR2 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 LAIR2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
