From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens

FK506 binding protein 7 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FKBP7 gene.[1] The gene is also known as FKBP23 and PPIase.[1] FKBP7 belongs to the FKBP-type peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase (PPIase) family. Members of this family exhibit PPIase activity and function as molecular chaperones. The orthologous protein in mouse is located in the endoplasmic reticulum and binds calcium.[1][2]
