Fkbp8 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables protein folding chaperone. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; positive regulation of BMP signaling pathway; and protein folding. Located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and mitochondrial envelope. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; and liver. Used to study clubfoot and spina bifida. Orthologous to human FKBP8 (FKBP prolyl isomerase 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Fkbp8 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
