OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the leucine-rich repeat and calponin homology domain-containing protein family. These family members contain multiple N-terminal leucine-rich repeats, in addition to a C-terminal calponin homology domain, a type of domain that mediates interactions with actin filaments. These proteins are conserved across animal species, and studies of a similar Drosophila protein indicate a function as a cytoskeletal scaffolding protein. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against LRCH2 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 LRCH2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against LRCH2 could matter depends on whether native LRCH2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

LRCH2 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 LRCH2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
