This protein acts as a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase which assists in protein folding and stability. FKBP52 is widely expressed in cells with high levels in tissues like the brain testis and kidneys indicating its role in various cellular processes. As part of its mechanical role FKBP52 interacts with heat shock proteins aiding in the regulation of protein homeostasis.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nFKBP52 functions as a co-chaperone in steroid receptor complexes. It partners with heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) to form a functional complex that modulates the activity of steroid hormone receptors. These receptors such as the androgen and glucocorticoid receptors rely on FKBP52 for proper regulation and transport within the cell. FKBP52 also plays a part in cellular signaling influencing processes like cell growth and differentiation through its interaction with these receptors.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nFKBP52 features prominently in steroid hormone signaling and stress response pathways. It is critical to the maturation and transport of steroid hormone receptors directly affecting their downstream gene regulation. The protein interacts closely with HSP90 and other immunophilins like FKBP51 which also plays roles in similar pathways but may have differing regulatory effects. This interaction demonstrates how FKBP52's function integrates into broader cellular signaling networks influencing pathways like the glucocorticoid receptor signaling pathway.\u003cbr\u003e\nFKBP52 connects significantly to prostate cancer and Alzheimer's disease. In prostate cancer its modulation of androgen receptor activity is critical. Abnormal regulation of these receptors can contribute to cancer progression. Moreover in Alzheimer's disease FKBP52 influences the stability and function of tau protein which is linked to neurofibrillary tangle formation a hallmark of the disease. Its interaction with tau indicates a potential therapeutic target for intervention in Alzheimer's progression.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855811661993,"sku":"ab97306","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab97306","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
