FK506 Binding Proteins (FKBPs) are intracellular receptors for the immuno-suppressive drug FK506. The FKBP/FK506 complex exerts its immunosuppressive effects by inhibiting calcineurin, a calcium- and calmodulin-dependent serine/threonine phosphatase that functions as a critical signaling molecule during T-cell activation. FKBP38, also known as FKBP8, is a 355 to 412 amino acid (aa) protein with an apparent molecular mass of ~60‑64 kDa in SDS-PAGE. FKBP38 binds to and inhibits calcineurin even in the absence of FK506, indicating that FKBP38 is a constitutively active inhibitor of calcineurin. Additionally, FKBP38 co‑immunoprecipitates with Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL, suggesting that FKBP38 may regulate apoptosis by anchoring Bcl‑2 and Bcl‑xL to mitochondrial membranes. Mouse FKBP38 shares 94% and 87% sequence identity with human and rat FKBP38, respectively.

Scientific Data Images for Human/Mouse/Rat FKBP38 Antibody
Detection of Human/Mouse/Rat FKBP38 by Western Blot.
Western blot shows lysates of HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line, NIH-3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cell line, and L6 rat myoblast cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.5 µg/mL of Human/Mouse/Rat FKBP38 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB3580) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF007). A specific band was detected for FKBP38 at approximately 60 to 64 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 2.Applications for Human/Mouse/Rat FKBP38 Antibody
