OverviewNCBI Gene

RNase H2 is composed of a single catalytic subunit (A) and two non-catalytic subunits (B and C) and specifically degrades the RNA of RNA:DNA hybrids. The protein encoded by this gene is the non-catalytic B subunit of RNase H2, which is thought to play a role in DNA replication. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Defects in this gene are a cause of Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome type 2 (AGS2). [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against RNASEH2B 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 RNASEH2B as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against RNASEH2B could matter depends on whether native RNASEH2B is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

RNASEH2B 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 RNASEH2B as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
