Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens


FK506-binding protein 8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FKBP8 gene.[5][6]

Quick Facts Available structures, PDB ...

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. Unlike the other members of the family, this encoded protein does not seem to have PPIase/rotamase activity. It may have a role in neurons associated with memory function.[6]
