OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the serine/threonine protein phosphatase with EF-hand motif family. The protein contains a protein phosphatase catalytic domain, and at least two EF-hand calcium-binding motifs in its C terminus. Although its substrate(s) is unknown, the encoded protein, which is expressed specifically in photoreceptors and the pineal, has been suggested to play a role in the visual system. This gene shares high sequence similarity with the Drosophila retinal degeneration C (rdgC) gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads PPEF2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PPEF2 could matter depends on whether native PPEF2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PPEF2 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 PPEF2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
