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]

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.
