OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a small Rho GTPase and a candidate tumor suppressor. The encoded protein interacts with the cullin-3 protein, a ubiquitin E3 ligase necessary for mitotic cell division. This protein inhibits the growth and spread of some types of breast cancer. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against RHOBTB2 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 RHOBTB2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against RHOBTB2 could matter depends on whether native RHOBTB2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

RHOBTB2 is annotated at the cell surface, where native RHOBTB2 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 RHOBTB2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
