Gene:
FK506 binding protein 6, 36kDa
Gene ID:
201172
Symbol:
FKBP6
Species:
1000
Description:
The 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 to the immunosuppressants FK506 and rapamycin. This gene is found to be deleted in Williams syndrome.
