OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene is similar to the C. elegans MAB-21 cell fate-determining gene, a downstream target of transforming growth factor-beta signaling. It is thought that this gene may be involved in neural development. The protein encoded by this gene is primarily nuclear, although some cytoplasmic localization has been observed.

Whether an antibody against MAB21L2 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 MAB21L2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against MAB21L2 could matter depends on whether native MAB21L2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
MAB21L2 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 MAB21L2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
