QuickView for PPIA (gene)

Gene Symbol:

PPIA Homo sapiens

Full name:

peptidylprolyl isomerase A

Synonyms:

CYPA, CYPH, HEL-S-69p, peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase A, PPIase A, T cell cyclophilin, cyclosporin A-binding protein, epididymis secretory sperm binding protein Li 69p, peptidylprolyl isomerase A (cyclophilin A), rotamase A

Genomic Location:

Chr 7: 44802766-44809241

Description:

This gene encodes a member of the peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) family. PPIases catalyze the cis-trans isomerization of proline imidic peptide bonds in oligopeptides and accelerate the folding of proteins. The encoded protein is a cyclosporin binding-protein and may play a role in cyclosporin A-mediated immunosuppression. The protein...

View Full Description

This gene encodes a member of the peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) family. PPIases catalyze the cis-trans isomerization of proline imidic peptide bonds in oligopeptides and accelerate the folding of proteins. The encoded protein is a cyclosporin binding-protein and may play a role in cyclosporin A-mediated immunosuppression. The protein can also interact with several HIV proteins, including p55 gag, Vpr, and capsid protein, and has been shown to be necessary for the formation of infectious HIV virions. Multiple pseudogenes that map to different chromosomes have been reported.
