OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is member of the GAP1 family of GTPase-activating proteins. The gene product stimulates the GTPase activity of normal RAS p21 but not its oncogenic counterpart. Acting as a suppressor of RAS function, the protein enhances the weak intrinsic GTPase activity of RAS proteins resulting in the inactive GDP-bound form of RAS, thereby allowing control of cellular proliferation and differentiation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against RASA2 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 RASA2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against RASA2 could matter depends on whether native RASA2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

RASA2 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 RASA2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
