    FKBP12.6 is a novel isoform of FKBP12, which selectively binds to the cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2). The crystal structure of FKBP12.6 in complex with rapamycin has now been determined at 2.0 A resolution. The structures of FKBP12.6 and FKBP12 are nearly identical, except for a displacement observed in the helical region of FKBP12.6 toward the hydrophobic pocket. This displacement was not predicted by homology modeling studies. Analyses of the residues that are likely to confer the RyR2-binding specificity are presented.

    • Tacrolimus (Prograf®)

      Tacrolimus is used along with other medications to prevent rejection (attack of a transplanted organ by the immune system of a person receiving the organ) in people who have received kidney, liver, or heart transplants. ...

    • Sirolimus (Rapamune®)

      Sirolimus is used in combination with other medications to prevent rejection of kidney transplants. Sirolimus is in a class of medications called immunosuppressants. It works by suppressing the body's immune system.
