OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a novel neural/endocrine-specific cytosolic and peripheral membrane protein required for the Ca2+-regulated exocytosis of secretory vesicles. The protein acts at a stage in exocytosis that follows ATP-dependent priming, which involves the essential synthesis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2). Alternative splicing has been observed at this locus and three variants, encoding distinct isoforms, are described. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2008]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

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

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