Colorectal, prostate, endometrium, liver and thyroid cancer tissues showed moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Other cancer tissues were in general weakly stained or negative.
Cases of ovarian, pancreatic cancers and melanoma showed moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Remaining cancer tissues were mainly negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
FKBP2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
FKBP-13, PPIase
Description
FK506 binding protein 2, 13kDa (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the immunophilin protein family, which play a role in immunoregulation and basic cellular processes involving protein folding and trafficking. This encoded protein is a cis-trans prolyl isomerase that binds the immunosuppressants FK506 and rapamycin. It is thought to function as an ER chaperone and may also act as a component of membrane cytoskeletal scaffolds. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2008]
