OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene is a member of the teashirt C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family of transcription factors. This gene encodes a protein with five C2H2-type zinc fingers, a homeobox DNA-binding domain and a coiled-coil domain. This nuclear protein is predicted to act as a transcriptional repressor. This gene is thought to play a role in the development and progression of breast and other types of cancer. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads TSHZ2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against TSHZ2 could matter depends on whether native TSHZ2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

TSHZ2 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 TSHZ2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
