OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is an O-mannosyltransferase that requires interaction with the product of the POMT1 gene for enzymatic function. The encoded protein is found in the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum. Defects in this gene are a cause of Walker-Warburg syndrome (WWS).[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against POMT2 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 POMT2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against POMT2 could matter depends on whether native POMT2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

POMT2 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 POMT2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
