OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a protein that binds members of the toll-like receptor protein family and functions as a chaperone to aid in folding and export of these proteins. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Naturally occuring readthrough transcription occurs between this locus and the downstream GNMT (glycine N-methyltransferase) gene and is represented with GeneID:107080644.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CNPY3 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 CNPY3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CNPY3 could matter depends on whether native CNPY3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CNPY3 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 CNPY3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
