OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a subunit of the cohesin complex, which regulates the separation of sister chromatids during cell division. Targeted inactivation of this gene results in chromatid cohesion defects and aneuploidy, suggesting that genetic disruption of cohesin is a cause of aneuploidy in human cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against STAG2 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 STAG2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against STAG2 could matter depends on whether native STAG2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

STAG2 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 STAG2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
