OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a presynaptic protein that interacts with RAB3, a protein important for normal neurotransmitter release. The encoded protein can also bind several other synaptic proteins, including UNC-13 homolog B, ELKS/Rab6-interacting/CAST family member 1, and synaptotagmin 1. This protein is involved in synaptic membrane exocytosis. Polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with degenerative lumbar scoliosis. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2017]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against RIMS2 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 RIMS2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against RIMS2 could matter depends on whether native RIMS2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

RIMS2 is annotated at the cell surface, where native RIMS2 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 RIMS2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
