OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. The protein contains two immunoglobulin domains and thirteen fibronectin type III domains. Fibronectin type III domains are present in both extracellular and intracellular proteins and tandem repeats are known to contain binding sites for DNA, heparin and the cell surface. This protein, and a homologous mouse sequence, are very similar to the Drosophila sidekick gene product but the specific function of this superfamily member is not yet known. Evidence for alternative splicing at this gene locus has been observed but the full-length nature of additional variants has not yet been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads SDK2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SDK2 could matter depends on whether native SDK2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

SDK2 is annotated at the cell surface, where native SDK2 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 SDK2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
