OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a putative member of the class II family of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. These enzymes play a critical role in protein biosynthesis by charging tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. This protein is encoded by the nuclear genome but is likely to be imported to the mitochondrion where it is thought to catalyze the ligation of proline to tRNA molecules. Mutations have been found in this gene in some patients with Alpers syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2015]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against PARS2 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 PARS2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PARS2 could matter depends on whether native PARS2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PARS2 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 PARS2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
