Full name: peptidylprolyl isomerase like 1

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: CGI-124; CYPL1; PCH14; PPIase; hCyPX

Summary: This gene is a member of the cyclophilin family of peptidylprolyl isomerases (PPIases). The cyclophilins are a highly conserved, ubiquitous family, members of which play an important role in protein folding, immunosuppression by cyclosporin A, and infection of HIV-1 virions. Based on similarity to other PPIases, this protein could accelerate the folding of proteins and might catalyze the cis-trans isomerization of proline imidic peptide bonds in oligopeptides.
