OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the M20 metalloprotease family. The encoded protein is specifically expressed in the brain, is a homodimeric dipeptidase which was identified as human carnosinase. This gene contains trinucleotide (CTG) repeat length polymorphism in the coding region. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads CNDP1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CNDP1 could matter depends on whether native CNDP1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CNDP1 is annotated as secreted, so native CNDP1 circulates and is directly accessible to antibodies. Secreted and cell-surface proteins are the autoantibody targets most likely to act like drugs, blocking or depleting the native protein.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label CNDP1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
