OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate cytidylyltransferase-like protein. Mutations in this gene are the cause of Walker-Warburg syndrome. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2012]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

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

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