FK506-binding protein 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FKBP4 gene.[5][6]

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the

phytanoyl-CoA alpha-hydroxylase. It can also associate with two heat shock proteins (hsp90 and hsp70) and thus may play a role in the intracellular trafficking of hetero-oligomeric forms of the steroid hormone receptors. This protein correlates strongly with adeno-associated virus type 2 vectors (AAV) resulting in a significant increase in AAV-mediated transgene expression in human cell lines. Thus this encoded protein is thought to have important implications for the optimal use of AAV vectors in human gene therapy.[6]

Structure

This protein contains

Clinical significance

Recent research suggests that FKBP4 may play a role in preventing the

Alzheimer's drugs and for detecting the disease before the onset of clinical symptoms.[7]
