Most cancer tissues showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Lymphomas, gliomas, carcinoid, breast, skin cancers and renal cell carcinomas were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
FKBP1B (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
FKBP12.6, FKBP1L, FKBP9, OTK4, PPIase
Description
FK506 binding protein 1B, 12.6 kDa (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez 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. This encoded protein is a cis-trans prolyl isomerase that binds the immunosuppressants FK506 and rapamycin. It is highly similar to the FK506-binding protein 1A. Its physiological role is thought to be in excitation-contraction coupling in cardiac muscle. There are two alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding different isoforms.
