OverviewNCBI Gene
Enables poly(A) RNA polymerase activity. Involved in histone mRNA catabolic process; mRNA 3'-end processing; and negative regulation of miRNA catabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Predicted to be part of nuclear RNA-directed RNA polymerase complex. Predicted to be active in glutamatergic synapse; perforant pathway to dendrate granule cell synapse; and postsynapse. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Whether an antibody against TENT2 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Protein binding partners of TENT2 in the human serome: UniProt-annotated complex subunits plus reported interactors. Each links to its own Seroatlas record.
Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads TENT2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against TENT2 could matter depends on whether native TENT2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
TENT2 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 TENT2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
