OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene was identified as a gene whose expression can be induced by the tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) in umbilical vein endothelial cells. The expression of this gene was shown to be induced by retinoic acid in a cell line expressing a oncogenic version of the retinoic acid receptor alpha fusion protein, which suggested that this gene may be a retinoic acid target gene in acute promyelocytic leukemia.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads TNFAIP2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against TNFAIP2 could matter depends on whether native TNFAIP2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

TNFAIP2 is annotated as secreted, so native TNFAIP2 circulates and is directly accessible to antibodies. Secreted and cell-surface proteins are the autoantibody targets most likely to act like drugs, blocking or depleting the native protein.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label TNFAIP2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
