OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes a protein containing multiple zinc finger domains. The encoded protein functions in optical fissure closure during development of the eye in the embryo. Mutations in this gene are associated with ocular coloboma. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

Whether an antibody against SALL2 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 SALL2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SALL2 could matter depends on whether native SALL2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
SALL2 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 SALL2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
