Gene: FKBP8

Alternate names for this Gene: FKBP38|FKBPr38

Gene Summary: 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 19

Location in Chromosome : 19p13.11

Description of this Gene: FKBP prolyl isomerase 8

Type of Gene: protein-coding
