Immunophilin
In molecular biology, an immunophilin is a protein that binds to immunosuppressive drugs such as rapamycin, cyclosporin, and FK-506. For these drugs in particular, known immunophilins such as cyclophilin catalyze the cis-trans isomerization of peptide bonds, particularly X-Pro peptide bonds.
