Fkbp5 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable heat shock protein binding activity; peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase activity; and protein-macromolecule adaptor activity. Involved in response to alcohol and response to cocaine. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Biomarker of alcohol dependence and cocaine abuse. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alcohol dependence; heroin dependence; and major depressive disorder. Orthologous to human FKBP5 (FKBP prolyl isomerase 5).

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 Fkbp5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
