OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene is a member of the MAGED gene family. The MAGED genes are clustered on chromosome Xp11. This gene is located in Xp11.2, a hot spot for X-linked intellectual disability (XLID). Mutations in this gene cause a form of transient antenatal Bartter's syndrome. This gene may also be involved in several types of cancer, including breast cancer and melanoma. The protein encoded by this gene is progressively recruited from the cytoplasm to the nucleoplasm during the interphase and after nucleolar stress and is thus thought to play a role in cell cycle regulation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against MAGED2 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 MAGED2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against MAGED2 could matter depends on whether native MAGED2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

MAGED2 is annotated as secreted, so native MAGED2 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 MAGED2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
