OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane protein localized to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The encoded protein contains many tetratricopeptide repeats, sequences known for being involved in protein-protein interactions. This protein binds both the calcium uptake pump SERCA2B and the carbohydrate-binding chaperone calnexin, and it appears to play a role in calcium homeostasis in the ER. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads TMTC2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against TMTC2 could matter depends on whether native TMTC2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

TMTC2 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 TMTC2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
