Background： 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. Unlike the other members of the family, this encoded protein does not seem to have PPIase/rotamase activity. It may have a role in neurons associated with memory function.

Function：catalytic activity:Peptidylproline (omega=180) = peptidylproline (omega=0).,caution:It is uncertain whether Met-1 or Met-58 is the initiator.,cofactor:Calcium.,function:Constitutively inactive PPiase, which becomes active when bound to calmodulin and calcium. Seems to act as a chaperone for BCL2, targets it to the mitochondria and modulates its phosphorylation state. The BCL2/FKBP8/calmodulin/calcium complex probably interferes with the binding of BCL2 to its targets. The active form of FKBP8 may therefore play a role in the regulation of apoptosis.,miscellaneous:Binds the immunosuppressant FK506 only in its calmodulin/calcium activated form.,sequence caution:The first part of the cDNA maps to the same locus, but in opposite orientation.,similarity:Contains 1 PPIase FKBP-type domain.,similarity:Contains 3 TPR repeats.,subunit:Homomultimers or heteromultimers (Potential). Forms heterodime
