OverviewNCBI Gene

CNDP2, also known as tissue carnosinase and peptidase A (EC 3.4.13.18), is a nonspecific dipeptidase rather than a selective carnosinase (Teufel et al., 2003 [PubMed 12473676]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CNDP2 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 CNDP2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CNDP2 could matter depends on whether native CNDP2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CNDP2 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 CNDP2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
