OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes the small subunit of 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase. This enzyme functions as a heterodimer and catalyzes the carboxylation of 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA to form 3-methylglutaconyl-CoA. Mutations in this gene are associated with 3-Methylcrotonylglycinuria, an autosomal recessive disorder of leucine catabolism. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, May 2018]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against MCCC2 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 MCCC2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against MCCC2 could matter depends on whether native MCCC2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

MCCC2 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 MCCC2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
