OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is located in the mitochondrion, where it is part of the ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase complex (also known as complex III). This complex constitutes a part of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Defects in this gene are a cause of mitochondrial complex III deficiency nuclear type 5. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against UQCRC2 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 UQCRC2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against UQCRC2 could matter depends on whether native UQCRC2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

UQCRC2 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 UQCRC2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
