app notes :
Detection of FK-506-antigen in ELISA. FK 506 antigen is a novel macrolide with similar but more potent immunosuppressant activity than cyclosporine. FK 506 is used for primary or rescue immunosuppression in patients after solid organ transplantation. Clinically relevant FK506 side effects are nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity, diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Most of these side effects are more closely related to FK 506 blood levels than dosage; therefore therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of FK506 levels is a prerequisite for therapy. Whole blood is the matrix of choice for FK 506 TDM. The whole blood target level range aimed for in clinical practice is between 3.0 and 20.0 ng/ml and depends on the patient's liver function, the type of organ transplanted and the time after transplantation.

uniprot summary :
FKBP8: 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. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: Membrane protein, integral; Isomerase; Chaperone; Mitochondrial; EC 5.2.1.8. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 19p12. Cellular Component: endoplasmic reticulum membrane; membrane; mitochondrial membrane; integral to endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Molecular Function: identical protein binding; protein binding; peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase activity; FK506 binding; metal ion binding. Biological Process: smoothened signaling pathway; protein peptidyl-prolyl isomerization; camera-type eye development; viral reproduction; regulation of gene expression; apoptosis; multicellular organism growth; cell fate specification; dorsoventral neural tube patterning; positive regulation of BMP signaling pathway; negative regulation of apoptosis
