FKBP38 Proteins and Enzymes

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 amino acid (aa) protein with a calculated molecular weight of 38.7 kDa and an apparent molecular mass of ~60 - 64 kDa in SDS-PAGE. FKBP38 ...
