FK506 binding protein, 25 kilodalton molecular weight (FKBP25), also called FKBP3, is a peptidyl-prolyl isomerase that catalyzes the transition between cis- and trans-proline residues critical for proper folding of proteins. The macrolide immunosuppressant rapamycin is a potent inhibitor of FKBP25. FKBP25 is localized in the nucleus, where it alters the activity of histone deacetylases and transcription factors. FKBP25 is found in many tissues, including the brain, thymus, and spleen.
Applications
Suitable for use in Western Blot and ELISA. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution
Western Blot: 1ug/ml Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability
Lyophilized powder may be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Reconstitute to nominal volume by adding sterile 40-50% glycerol and store at -20°C.
