OverviewNCBI Gene
The protein encoded by this gene is highly similar to cytoplasmic polyadenylation element binding protein (CPEB), an mRNA-binding protein that regulates cytoplasmic polyadenylation of mRNA as a trans factor in oogenesis and spermatogenesis. Studies of the similar gene in mice suggested a possible role of this protein in transcriptionally inactive haploid spermatids. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads CPEB2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CPEB2 could matter depends on whether native CPEB2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
CPEB2 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 CPEB2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
