OverviewNCBI Gene
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Zfh1 family of 2-handed zinc finger/homeodomain proteins. It is located in the nucleus and functions as a DNA-binding transcriptional repressor that interacts with activated SMADs. Mutations in this gene are associated with Hirschsprung disease/Mowat-Wilson syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads ZEB2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ZEB2 could matter depends on whether native ZEB2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
ZEB2 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 ZEB2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
