UniProt data
UniProt name: FKBP8_HUMAN (Q14318)
Gene name: FKBP8; Synonyms=FKBP38
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12510191, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15757646, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16176796}.
Subcellular location: Isoform 3: Mitochondrion membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18385096}; Single-pass membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000305}.
Transmembrane domains:
- 390-410, 21 AA, Helical. {ECO:0000255}.
Sequence: 412 AA
