OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the rhomboid family of membrane-bound proteases and is overexpressed in some breast cancers. Members of this family are involved in intramembrane proteolysis. In mouse, the orthologous protein associates with the Golgi body. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against RHBDD2 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 RHBDD2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against RHBDD2 could matter depends on whether native RHBDD2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

RHBDD2 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 RHBDD2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
