OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes the precursor of a peptide hormone that shares sequence similarity with the parathyroid hormone. This gene is expressed in various regions of the brain where it plays a role in the release of pituitary hormones, anxiety and nociception. The encoded precursor protein is proteolytically processed to generate the biologically active neuropeptide. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against PTH2 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 PTH2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PTH2 could matter depends on whether native PTH2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PTH2 is annotated as secreted, so native PTH2 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 PTH2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
