Recombinant Human Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase FKBP3 (FKBP3)

Uniprot Id

Q00688

Target Species

Human

Target Name

FKBP3

Target Full Name

Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase FKBP3

Target Function

FK506- and rapamycin-binding proteins (FKBPs) constitute a family of receptors for the two immunosuppressants which inhibit T-cell proliferation by arresting two distinct cytoplasmic signal transmission pathways. PPIases accelerate the folding of proteins.

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus.

Epigenetics and Nuclear Signaling

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the immunophilin protein family, which play a role in immunoregulation and basic cellular processes involving protein folding and trafficking. This encoded protein is a cis-trans prolyl isomerase that binds the immunosuppressants FK506 and rapamycin, as well as histone deacetylases, the transcription factor YY1, casein kinase II, and nucleolin. It has a higher affinity for rapamycin than for FK506 and thus may be an important target molecule for immunosuppression by rapamycin.
