General description
Cyclophilins are a family of extremely conserved proteins, known as immunophilins. Cyclophilin A (CyPA) is present in all tissues in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is present in all organs of human. Cyclophilin A (CyPA), a 20 kDa chaperone protein, that is liberated from vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).
Application
Cyclophilin A human has been used in the study to interpret the mechanisms by which extracellular CyPA initiates endothelial activation.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cyclophilin A (CyPA) participates in intracellular signalling and protein trafficking. It helps to control other proteins activity. CyPA plays a physiological and pathological role in cardiovascular diseases. Hence it acts as an important biomarker and mediator in several cardiovascular diseases, like vascular stenosis, atherosclerosis and abdominal aortic aneurysms. CyPA can induce the proliferation and inflammatory cell migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) in vitro and in vivo.
Cyclophilins are peptidyl prolyl isomerases that catalyze the cis-trans isomerization of X-Pro peptide bonds. They are highly-conserved cytoplasmic enzymes that accelerate protein folding and facilitate HIV infectivity. Cyclosporin A binds to cyclophilin and inhibits its activity. The cyclosporin A-cyclophilin complex binds to calcineurin and inhibits T-cell activation. The structure of human, recombinant cyclophilin is given by Holzman, et al.

By binding to cyclophilin D, cyclosporine A (CsA) inhibits mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening and prevents mitochondrial dysfunction and ultimately cell death after ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in cardiac muscle. This study tested whether CsA would decrease skeletal muscle oxidative

Histone H1 plays a crucial role in stabilizing higher order chromatin structure. Transcriptional activation, DNA replication, and chromosome condensation all require changes in chromatin structure and are correlated with the phosphorylation of histone H1. In this study, we describe a

The enzyme peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) was recently discovered in mammalian tissues and purified from porcine kidney. It catalyses the slow cis-trans isomerization of proline peptide (Xaa-Pro) bonds in oligopeptides and accelerates slow, rate-limiting steps in the folding of several

Presenilins were identified as causative factors in familial Alzheimer's disease and also play an essential role in Notch signaling during development. We previously identified FKBP14, a member of the family of FK506-binding proteins (FKBPs), as a modifier of Presenilin in
