OverviewNCBI Gene

Regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) family members are regulatory molecules that act as GTPase activating proteins (GAPs) for G alpha subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins. RGS proteins are able to deactivate G protein subunits of the Gi alpha, Go alpha and Gq alpha subtypes. They drive G proteins into their inactive GDP-bound forms. Regulator of G protein signaling 2 belongs to this family. The protein acts as a mediator of myeloid differentiation and may play a role in leukemogenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2009]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against RGS2 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 RGS2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against RGS2 could matter depends on whether native RGS2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

RGS2 is annotated at the cell surface, where native RGS2 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 RGS2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
