FKBP51 also known as FKBP5 is an immunophilin protein with a molecular mass around 51 kDa. It functions as a peptidyl-prolyl isomerase that assists protein folding by catalyzing the cis-trans isomerization of prolyl bonds. FKBP51 is expressed in various tissues including the brain liver kidney and skeletal muscle. The protein serves multiple mechanical roles including the modulation of protein receptor complexes and interaction with other molecular chaperones.
Biological function summary
FKBP51 plays a role in cellular stress responses and steroid receptor signaling. It is part of large complexes such as the glucocorticoid receptor complex where it modulates receptor sensitivity and translocation to the nucleus. FKBP51 influences the stress hormone pathway by affecting the receptor's binding affinity and contributing to the regulation of inflammatory responses. By playing a regulatory role in hormonal signaling FKBP51 impacts several biological processes including development and metabolism.
Pathways
FKBP51 interacts with the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. It interacts with proteins like Hsp90 and PHLPP impacting stress response and cellular growth regulation. The modulation of these pathways affects stress-related behaviors and cellular homeostasis. FKBP51's interaction with the HPA axis plays a significant role in stress response regulation making it an essential component of the body's adaptation mechanisms.
FKBP51 has strong associations with mood disorders and cancer. Its upregulation correlates with stress-related psychiatric conditions such as depression impacting the function of other stress-related proteins like glucocorticoid receptors. In cancer FKBP51 modulates tumor growth and survival pathways interacting with proteins involved in cell proliferation and death such as the AKT protein. Understanding FKBP51's role in these conditions helps identify potential therapeutic targets for treatment.
