OverviewNCBI Gene

Members of the Rab protein family are nontransforming monomeric GTP-binding proteins of the Ras superfamily that contain 4 highly conserved regions involved in GTP binding and hydrolysis. Rab proteins are prenylated, membrane-bound proteins involved in vesicular fusion and trafficking; see MIM 179508.[supplied by OMIM, Apr 2006]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against RAB2B can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Genetic constraint and essentialitygnomAD · DepMap

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads RAB2B as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against RAB2B could matter depends on whether native RAB2B is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

RAB2B is annotated at the cell surface, where native RAB2B is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label RAB2B as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
