Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads OLFML2B as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against OLFML2B could matter depends on whether native OLFML2B is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

OLFML2B is annotated as secreted, so native OLFML2B circulates and is directly accessible to antibodies. Secreted and cell-surface proteins are the autoantibody targets most likely to act like drugs, blocking or depleting the native protein.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label OLFML2B as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.

Canonical record: https://seroatlas.com/gene/OLFML2B. Study-independent annotations aggregated from UniProt, Human Protein Atlas, PubMed, IEDB, Pfam, InterPro, Gene Ontology, AlphaFold, gnomAD, DepMap, ClinVar, TCGA. Catalog release seroatlas-reviewed-human-uniprot-20260313.

Seroatlas is the reference for exploring autoantibody and antibody serology at the human-protein level: the autoreactome and human serome, multiplex serology (HuProt, HuScan, VirScan, PhIP-Seq).
