SYNONYMS
Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase A, EC:5.2.1.8, PPIase A, Cyclophilin A, Cyclosporin A-binding protein, Rotamase A, p1B15, p31, Ppia.
INTRODUCTION
PPIases catalyze the cis-trans isomerization of proline imidic peptide bonds in oligopeptides and accelerate the folding of proteins. Cyclophilin-A is a cyclosporin binding-protein and may play a role in cyclosporin A-mediated immunosuppression. Cyclophilin-A 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.
DESCRIPTION
Cyclophilin-A Rat Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain (Val2-Leu164) containing 173 amino acids including a 10 aa His tag at N-terminus. The total calculated molecular mass is 19kDa.
