Cyclophilin A, aa1-165, Recombinant, Human (Cyclosporin A Binding Protein, Peptidyl Prolyl Cis Trans

Cyclophilin A (also known as Peptidylprolyl isomerase A, PPIA) encodes a member of the peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase family. They are highly-conserved cytoplasmic enzymes that accelerate protein folding. Cyclophilin A is also incorporated into many viruses, including HIV-1, where it has been speculated to be involved in functions such as viral assembly and infectivity.
