Mouse Anti-Cyclophilin B/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
The cyclophilins are a conserved class of proteins that bind the immunosuppressive drug cyclosporin A (CsA) with high affinity. CsA blocks helper T-cell activation at a step between T-cell receptor stimulation and the transcriptional activation of cytokine genes. Cyclophilins from many species possess peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) activity that is blocked by CsA and therefore may be relevant in CsA-mediated immunosuppression.
Function:
PPIases accelerate the folding of proteins. It catalyzes the cis-trans isomerization of proline imidic peptide bonds in oligopeptides.
Subcellular Location:
Endoplasmic reticulum lumen. Melanosome. Note=Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV.
DISEASE:
Defects in PPIB are the cause of osteogenesis imperfect ype 9 (OI9) [MIM:25988]. OI9 is a connective tissue disorder characterized by bone fragility, low bone mass and bowing of limbs due to multiple fractures. Short limb dwarfism and blue sclerae are observed in some but not all patients.
Similarity:
Belongs to the cyclophilin-type PPIase family. PPIase B subfamily.
Contains 1 PPIase cyclophilin-type domain.
