OverviewNCBI Gene

Nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDK) exists as a hexamer composed of 'A' (encoded by NME1) and 'B' (encoded by this gene) isoforms. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. Read-through transcription from the neighboring upstream gene (NME1) generates naturally-occurring transcripts (NME1-NME2) that encode a fusion protein comprised of sequence sharing identity with each individual gene product.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against NME2 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 NME2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against NME2 could matter depends on whether native NME2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

NME2 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 NME2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
