FKBP8 is an immunophilin family member lacking PPIase/arotamase activity that influences immunoregulation, protein folding and trafficking in neurons associated with memory function. The FKBPr38 form derives from a truncated ORF. Presenilin 1 and 2 form molecular complexes with梐nd promote degradation of桭KBPr38, and Bcl-2, and sequester these proteins in ER/Golgi, thereby inhibiting FKBPr38-mediated, ?secretase-independent, mitochondrial targeting of Bcl-2. FKBP8 present in the central nervous system can antagonize hedgehog (HH) signaling, where HH is critical for patterning and growth of many tissues in the developing embryo. Mouse FKBPr38 mRNA is present in neurons and glial cells and appears more pronounced in neurons associated with the hippocampal formation in adult mouse brains.
