FKBP52 (FKBP4) is a member of the immunophilin (IMM) protein family of intracellular proteins that are able to bind immunosuppressant drugs, from which the term immunophilin derives (Pratt and Toft 1997; Kang et al. 2008). These proteins are also known as peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerases (PPIases) for their ability to convert proline bonds from cis to trans form, a rate-limiting step in protein folding (Harding et al. 1989; Standaert et al. 1990; Galat 2003; Davies and Sanchez 2005). In addition to the PPIase and TPR domains, there are two additional domains - the nucleotide-binding domain (also called FKBD2 in FKBP proteins) where ATP binds and the calmodulin-binding domain, a poorly characterized domain able to interact with calmodulin.
