OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a transmembrane protein that interacts with the beta subunit of a sodium/potassium-transporting ATPase. A chromosomal translocation involving this gene is a cause of lymphoma. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against NKAIN2 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 NKAIN2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against NKAIN2 could matter depends on whether native NKAIN2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

NKAIN2 is annotated at the cell surface, where native NKAIN2 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 NKAIN2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
