OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the MutT family of nucleotide pyrophosphatases, a subset of the larger NUDIX hydrolase family. The gene product possesses a modification of the MutT sequence motif found in certain nucleotide pyrophosphatases. The enzyme asymmetrically hydrolyzes Ap4A to yield AMP and ATP and is responsible for maintaining the intracellular level of the dinucleotide Ap4A, the function of which has yet to be established. This gene may be a candidate tumor suppressor gene. Alternative splicing has been observed at this locus and four transcript variants, all encoding the same protein, have been identified.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against NUDT2 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 NUDT2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against NUDT2 could matter depends on whether native NUDT2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

NUDT2 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 NUDT2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
