OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the disulfide isomerase (PDI) family of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteins that catalyze protein folding and thiol-disulfide interchange reactions. The encoded protein has an N-terminal ER-signal sequence, a catalytically active thioredoxin domain, one transmembrane domain and a C-terminal ER-retention sequence. This protein is enriched on the mitochondria-associated-membrane of the ER via palmitoylation of two of its cytosolically exposed cysteines. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2017]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against TMX2 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 TMX2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against TMX2 could matter depends on whether native TMX2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

TMX2 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 TMX2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
