OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the Polycomb group proteins. These proteins form the Polycomb repressive complexes which are involved in transcriptional repression. The encoded protein binds histone peptides that are monomethylated at lysine residues and may be involved in regulating homeotic gene expression during development. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against SCML2 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 SCML2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SCML2 could matter depends on whether native SCML2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

SCML2 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 SCML2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
