Fkbp4 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables copper-dependent protein binding activity and tau protein binding activity. Involved in copper ion transport and negative regulation of microtubule polymerization. Located in several cellular components, including axonal growth cone; neuronal cell body; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Part of protein-containing complex. Orthologous to human FKBP4 (FKBP prolyl isomerase 4). [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 rat Fkbp4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
