OverviewNCBI Gene

The zinc finger protein encoded by this gene is a widely expressed member of the FOG family of transcription factors. The family members modulate the activity of GATA family proteins, which are important regulators of hematopoiesis and cardiogenesis in mammals. It has been demonstrated that the protein can both activate and down-regulate expression of GATA-target genes, suggesting different modulation in different promoter contexts. A related mRNA suggests an alternatively spliced product but this information is not yet fully supported by the sequence. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads ZFPM2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ZFPM2 could matter depends on whether native ZFPM2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ZFPM2 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 ZFPM2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
