cyn-3 encodes an abundantly expressed cyclophilin A isoform with peptidyl-prolyl isomerase activity in vitro, which closely resembles the prototypical CypA and is thus likely to be a member of the cytosolic CsA-binding cyclophilin subfamily; cyn-3 is exclusively expressed in the single anterior excretory cell, and is dispensable for viability and gross morphology in mass RNAi screens.
Enables peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase activity. Predicted to be involved in protein folding. Located in obsolete cell. Expressed in excretory system. 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).
