Gene: PPIL3

Alternate names for this Gene: CYPJ

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the cyclophilin family. Cyclophilins catalyze the cis-trans isomerization of peptidylprolyl imide bonds in oligopeptides. They have been proposed to act either as catalysts or as molecular chaperones in protein-folding events. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 2

Location in Chromosome : 2q33.1

Description of this Gene: peptidylprolyl isomerase like 3

Type of Gene: protein-coding
