fkb-2 encodes a peptidylprolyl cis/trans isomerase homologous to the mammalian FK506 immunosuppressant-binding protein 1A (FKBP1A, OMIM:186945, mutations associated with myocardial noncompaction); by homology, FKB-2 could function in a number of processes including protein folding, signal transduction, and regulation of muscle contraction; however, the precise role of FKB-2 in C. elegans development and/or behavior is not yet known,.
Predicted to enable peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase activity. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Graves' disease. Is an ortholog of human FKBP1A (FKBP prolyl isomerase 1A); FKBP1B (FKBP prolyl isomerase 1B); and FKBP1C (FKBP prolyl isomerase family member 1C).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
