OverviewNCBI Gene
NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) catalyzes the transfer of electrons from NADH to ubiquinone (coenzyme Q) in the first step of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, resulting in the translocation of protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane. This gene encodes a complex I assembly factor. Mutations in this gene cause progressive encephalopathy resulting from mitochondrial complex I deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Whether an antibody against NDUFAF2 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 NDUFAF2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against NDUFAF2 could matter depends on whether native NDUFAF2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
NDUFAF2 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 NDUFAF2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
