OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a neuron-specific activator of CDK5 kinase. It associates with CDK5 to form an active kinase. This protein and neuron-specific CDK5 activator CDK5R1/p39NCK5A both share limited similarity to cyclins, and thus may define a distinct family of cyclin-dependent kinase activating proteins.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CDK5R2 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 CDK5R2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CDK5R2 could matter depends on whether native CDK5R2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CDK5R2 is annotated at the cell surface, where native CDK5R2 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 CDK5R2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
