OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a protein containing zinc-finger-like repeats and a calpain-like protease domain. The encoded protein may function as a transcription factor, RNA-binding protein, or in protein-protein interactions during visual system development. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CAPN15 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 CAPN15 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CAPN15 could matter depends on whether native CAPN15 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CAPN15 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 CAPN15 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
