Cyclophilin (Cyp) binds cyclosporin. They are peptidylprolyl isomerases which catalyze the isomerisation of proline. The Cyp-A/cyclosporin A complex inhibits organ rejection. Cyp-D is a component of the mitochondria permeability pore. Rotamase such as FKBP is a prokaryotic Cyp which is not inhibited by cyclosporin but by FK-506 – an immunosuppressive drug.
