OverviewNCBI Gene
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the family of latent transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta binding proteins (LTBP), which are extracellular matrix proteins with multi-domain structure. This protein is the largest member of the LTBP family possessing unique regions and with most similarity to the fibrillins. It has thus been suggested that it may have multiple functions: as a member of the TGF-beta latent complex, as a structural component of microfibrils, and a role in cell adhesion.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads LTBP2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against LTBP2 could matter depends on whether native LTBP2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
LTBP2 is annotated as secreted, so native LTBP2 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 LTBP2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
