OverviewNCBI Gene

The calpains, calcium-activated neutral proteases, are nonlysosomal, intracellular cysteine proteases. The mammalian calpains include ubiquitous, stomach-specific, and muscle-specific proteins. The ubiquitous enzymes consist of heterodimers with distinct large, catalytic subunits associated with a common small, regulatory subunit. This gene encodes the large subunit of the ubiquitous enzyme, calpain 1. Several transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CAPN1 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 CAPN1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CAPN1 could matter depends on whether native CAPN1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CAPN1 is annotated at the cell surface, where native CAPN1 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label CAPN1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
