Gene information for FKBP1B (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2281
Official gene symbolFKBP1B
Full nameFK506 binding protein 1B, 12.6 kDa
Aliases,FKBP12.6,FKBP1L,OTK4,PKBP1L,PPIase,
Gene summaryThe 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.
