Peptidylprolyl isomerase A also known as cyclophilin A or rotamase A is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PPIA gene.[1][2][3]

Contents

Function

This gene encodes a member of the peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) family. PPIases catalyze the cis-trans isomerization of proline imidic peptide bonds in oligopeptides and accelerates the folding of proteins. The encoded protein is a cyclosporin binding-protein and may play a role in cyclosporin A-mediated immunosuppression. The protein 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.[1]

Interactions

Peptidylprolyl isomerase A has been shown to interact with ITK.[4]
