OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a scaffold protein that is thought to be involved in the regulation of the c-Jun amino-terminal kinase signaling pathway. This protein has been shown to interact with and regulate the activity of MAPK8/JNK1 and MAP2K7/MKK7 kinases. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2017]

Genetic constraint and essentialitygnomAD · DepMap

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 MAPK8IP2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against MAPK8IP2 could matter depends on whether native MAPK8IP2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

MAPK8IP2 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 MAPK8IP2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
