FKBP1B FKBP prolyl isomerase 1B

Gene ID: 2281, updated on 19-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: OTK4; FKBP1L; PKBP1L; PPIase; FKBP12.6

Summary

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. It is highly similar to the FK506-binding protein 1A. Its physiological role is thought to be in excitation-contraction coupling in cardiac muscle. There are two alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding different isoforms.
