OverviewNCBI Gene

This nuclear gene encodes a mitochondrial member of the thioredoxin family, a group of small multifunctional redox-active proteins. The encoded protein may play important roles in the regulation of the mitochondrial membrane potential and in protection against oxidant-induced apoptosis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against TXN2 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 TXN2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against TXN2 could matter depends on whether native TXN2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

TXN2 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 TXN2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
