Target data

Function

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. Involved in the inhibition of viral infection by influenza A viruses (IAV) (PubMed:28169297).

Alternative names

FKBP38, FKBP8, Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase FKBP8, PPIase FKBP8, 38 kDa FK506-binding protein, FK506-binding protein 8, FKBPR38, Rotamase, 38 kDa FKBP, FKBP-38, hFKBP38, FKBP-8

Activity summary

FKBP38 also known as FK506 binding protein 8 is a member of the immunophilin protein family characterized by peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase activity. This protein weighs approximately 42 kDa and plays significant roles in various cellular processes. FKBP38 is mainly expressed in the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum where it regulates multiple signaling pathways through its interactions with other complex proteins.

Biological function summary

FKBP38 regulates apoptosis and cell survival mechanisms. It binds to and inhibits the anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL forming a complex that influences mitochondrial integrity. This interaction is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis and responding to stress signals. FKBP38's presence in these complexes highlights its role as an important modulator of cell death pathways contributing to balanced cell proliferation and survival.

Pathways

FKBP38 significantly affects the mTOR signaling pathway and the intrinsic apoptosis pathway. It interacts with important proteins such as Bcl-2 Bcl-xL and mTORC1 influencing cellular growth and apoptosis. FKBP38's regulation of mTOR signaling impacts protein synthesis cell growth and autophagy making it a critical factor in maintaining cellular metabolic balance.

Associated diseases and disorders

FKBP38 has links to cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Its modulation of apoptosis and cell proliferation relates to tumor growth and cancer progression where its interaction with Bcl-2 proteins becomes relevant. Additionally FKBP38's role in neurodegenerative diseases ties to its regulation of mitochondrial function where dysregulation leads to neuronal cell death. Understanding FKBP38's connections with these diseases helps in formulating potential therapeutic strategies targeting these important proteins and pathways.

    ab129113 was shown to specifically react with FKBP38 when FKBP38 knockout samples were used. Wild-type and FKBP38 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab129113 and ab18058 (loading control to Vinculin) were diluted 1/1000 and 1/10000 respectively and incubated overnight at 4°C. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed (Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1/10000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.
