| Function | Constitutively inactive PPiase, which becomes active when bound to calmodulin and calcium. Seems to act as a chaperone for BCL2, targets it to the mitochondria and modulates its phosphorylation state. The BCL2/FKBP8/calmodulin/calcium complex probably interferes with the binding of BCL2 to its targets. The active form of FKBP8 may therefore play a role in the regulation of apoptosis (By similarity). Required for normal embryonic development. {ECO:0000250}. |
| Subcellular Location | Mitochondrion membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15105374}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15105374}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15105374}. |
| Tissue Specificity | Detected throughout the embryonic body, in caudal neural tube, limbs and head. Detected in adult retina, brain, heart, kidney, liver, pancreas, lung, testis and urinary bladder (at protein level). Detected in adult brain, kidney, liver, testis and trigeminal nerve, and in embryo. Detected at lower levels in lung, spleen, heart and ovary. Widely expressed in forebrain. Detected in the Purkinje cell layer in the cerebellum and in hippocampus neurons. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10197430, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14667822, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15105374}. |
