OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes a transmembrane protein with two extracellular Kunitz domains that inhibits a variety of serine proteases. The protein inhibits HGF activator which prevents the formation of active hepatocyte growth factor. This gene is a putative tumor suppressor, and mutations in this gene result in congenital sodium diarrhea. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Whether an antibody against SPINT2 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 SPINT2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SPINT2 could matter depends on whether native SPINT2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
SPINT2 is annotated at the cell surface, where native SPINT2 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 SPINT2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
