Gene:
peptidylprolyl isomerase (cyclophilin)-like 3
Gene ID:
198468
Symbol:
PPIL3
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene encodes a member of the cyclophilin family. Cyclophilins catalyze the cis-trans isomerization of peptidylprolyl imide bonds in oligopeptides. They have been proposed to act either as catalysts or as molecular chaperones in protein-folding events. Transcript variants derived from alternative splicing and/or alternative polyadenylation exist; some of these variants encode different isoforms.
