[C.elegansII] NMK. Cyclophilin family, transspliced to SL1. Partial sequence identity 83% to human CYP gene, 74% to yeast CSBY. Possible signal peptide. YAC Y14B8[WS, TP]
cyn-1 encodes a functional cyclophilin that is predicted to be secreted; cyn-1 expression increases as worms progress from the L1 larval stage to the adult stage; cyn-1 shares an operon with vha-13 and thus might be a previously undescribed V-ATPase component or ancillary protein.
Predicted to enable cyclosporin A binding activity and peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase activity. Predicted to be involved in protein folding. Located in mitochondrion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Bell's palsy; aggressive periodontitis; and gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple). Is an ortholog of human PPIA (peptidylprolyl isomerase A); PPIAL4C (peptidylprolyl isomerase A like 4C); and PPIF (peptidylprolyl isomerase F).
