OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the protein inhibitor of activated STAT family, which function as SUMO E3 ligases and play important roles in many cellular processes by mediating the sumoylation of target proteins. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. Isoforms of the encoded protein enhance the sumoylation of specific target proteins including the p53 tumor suppressor protein, c-Jun, and the androgen receptor. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 4. The symbol MIZ1 has also been associated with ZBTB17 which is a different gene located on chromosome 1.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against PIAS2 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 PIAS2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PIAS2 could matter depends on whether native PIAS2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PIAS2 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 PIAS2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
