Predicted to enable cyclosporin A binding activity and peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase activity. Predicted to be involved in protein folding. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cholangiocarcinoma and human immunodeficiency virus infectious disease. Orthologous to several human genes including PPIA (peptidylprolyl isomerase A); PPIAL4C (peptidylprolyl isomerase A like 4C); and PPIF (peptidylprolyl isomerase F).
WB Description
cyn-7 encodes a cyclophilin A isoform; while not tested for peptidyl-prolyl isomerase activity in vitro, it is very similar to CYN-3 and closely resembles the prototypical CypA, and is therefore likely to be a member of the cytosolic CsA-binding cyclophilin subfamily; CYN-7 was required for embryonic viability in one set of mass RNAi assays.
