OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a protein which contains a C-terminal domain able to interact with the angiotension II (AT2) receptor and a large coiled-coil region allowing dimerization. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. One of the transcript variants has been shown to encode a mitochondrial protein that acts as a tumor suppressor and partcipates in AT2 signaling pathways. Other variants may encode nuclear or transmembrane proteins but it has not been determined whether they also participate in AT2 signaling pathways. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads MTUS1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against MTUS1 could matter depends on whether native MTUS1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

MTUS1 is annotated at the cell surface, where native MTUS1 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label MTUS1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
