Description
Description
Cyclophilins are a class of evolutionary conserved peptidyl prolyl cis/trans isomerases. In vertebrates, they form binary complexes with their ligand, cyclosporine A, and are involved in key biochemical processes including protein folding, receptor signalling, protein trafficking, and transcription. Cyclophilins are characterized by the presence of a 'Cyclophilin-type peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase domain' (IPR002130). (Adapted from PMID:25986569.)
