Cyclophilin A

SYNONYMS
Peptidylprolyl isomerase A, CYPA, CYPH, MGC12404, MGC23397, MGC117158, PPIase A, Rotamase A, PPIA, Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase A, EC 5.2.1.8, Cyclophilin A, Cyclosporin A-binding protein.

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 Human Recombinant fused with a 20 amino acid His tag at N-terminus produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 185 amino acids (1-165 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 20 kDa.
PPIase-A is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
