OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane-bound arginine/lysine carboxypeptidase. Its expression is associated with monocyte to macrophage differentiation. This encoded protein contains hydrophobic regions at the amino and carboxy termini and has 6 potential asparagine-linked glycosylation sites. The active site residues of carboxypeptidases A and B are conserved in this protein. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been described for this gene.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CPM can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Genetic constraint and essentialitygnomAD · DepMap

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

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

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