FK506 Binding Protein 2, aa22-142, Recombinant, Human (FKBP2, FKBP-2, 13kD FK506-binding Protein, 13

FKBP2 is peptidyl proline isomerase enzyme and a member of the immunophilin protein family. This protein is predominantly expressed in thymus and T cells and plays a role in immunoregulation and basic cellular processes involving protein folding and trafficking. It is a cis-trans prolyl isomerase that binds the immunosuppressants FK506 and rapamycin. FKBP2 is thought to function as an ER chaperone and may also act as a component of membrane cytoskeletal scaffolds. Recombinant FKBP2 protein was expressed in E. coli. Source: Recombinant corresponding to aa22-142 of human FKBP2 expressed in E. coli.
