The term immunophilin involves a family of proteins whose domain shows peptidylprolyl-(cis/trans)-isomerase (PPIase)enzymatic activity,i.e., the reversible cis/trans interconversion of Xaa-Pro bonds (Annett et al.,2020).The PPlase domain of these proteins usually binds to immunosuppressive drugs,such as the macrolide FK506 (referred to as the FKBP subfamily) or the cyclic undecapeptide cyclosporine A (called CyP subfamily).
