OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a intramembrane zinc metalloprotease, which is essential in development. This protease functions in the signal protein activation involved in sterol control of transcription and the ER stress response. Mutations in this gene have been associated with ichthyosis follicularis with atrichia and photophobia (IFAP syndrome); IFAP syndrome has been quantitatively linked to a reduction in cholesterol homeostasis and ER stress response.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2009]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against MBTPS2 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 MBTPS2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against MBTPS2 could matter depends on whether native MBTPS2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

MBTPS2 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 MBTPS2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
