OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a mammalian peptidase that, at neutral pH, removes tripeptides from the N terminus of longer peptides. The protein has a specialized function that is essential for some MHC class I antigen presentation. The protein is a high molecular mass serine exopeptidase; the amino acid sequence surrounding the serine residue at the active site is similar to the peptidases of the subtilisin class rather than the trypsin class.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against TPP2 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 TPP2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against TPP2 could matter depends on whether native TPP2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

TPP2 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 TPP2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
