FKBP38 Polyclonal Antibody

Constitutively inactive PPiase, which becomes active when bound to calmodulin and calcium. Seems to act as a chaperone for BCL2, targets it to the mitochondria and modulates its phosphorylation state. The BCL2/FKBP8/calmodulin/calcium complex probably interferes with the binding of BCL2 to its targets. The active form of FKBP8 may therefore play a role in the regulation of apoptosis. Homomultimers or heteromultimers (Potential) . Forms heterodimer with calmodulin. When activated by calmodulin and calcium, interacts with the BH4 domain of BCL2 and weakly with BCLX isoform Bcl-X (L) . Does not bind and inhibit calcineurin. Interacts with HCV NS5A. Interacts with ZFYVE27; may negatively regulate ZFYVE27 phosphorylation.Tissue specificity: Widely expressed. Highest levels seen in the brain.
