OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes a serine-threonine kinase that putatively phosphorylates tau and tubulin proteins. Mutations in this gene cause spinocerebellar ataxia type 11 (SCA11); a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive ataxia and atrophy of the cerebellum and brainstem.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads TTBK2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against TTBK2 could matter depends on whether native TTBK2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
TTBK2 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 TTBK2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
