Cyclophilin B is a 24kD glycoprotein member of the B subfamily of the cyclophilin-type PPIase family of molecules. It is both secreted and retained in the ER. When secreted, Cyclophilin B mediates chemotaxis and T cell adhesion to fibronectin. This is likely due to its prolyl cis/trans isomerase activity. Intracellularly, Cyclophilin B appears to serve as a molecular chaperone for molecules destined for secretion. It does so via stabilization, and facilitating the activity of additional chaperones. The human Cyclophilin B precursor is 216 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains a 25aa signal sequence plus a 191aa mature region. There is a partial heparin-binding sequence (aa27-34), a PPIase domain (aa47-204) and a C-terminal ER retention motif (aa213-216).
