PPIL3 peptidylprolyl isomerase like 3

Gene ID: 53938, updated on 19-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CYPJ

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the cyclophilin family. Cyclophilins catalyze the cis-trans isomerization of peptidylprolyl imide bonds in oligopeptides. They have been proposed to act either as catalysts or as molecular chaperones in protein-folding events. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2008]
