Article Synopsis
- Cyclophilin D (HsCypD) was isolated from the freshwater pearl mussel, identified with a full-length cDNA of 2,671 bp that encodes a 367-amino-acid protein.
- HsCypD is characterized as a hydrophilic intracellular protein with 10 phosphorylation sites, four tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domains, and lacks a signal peptide.
- Phylogenetic analysis suggests a common ancestry for CypD across species, with HsCypD most closely related to that from the sea snail Lottia gigantea, and its mRNA expression shows tissue-specific patterns peaking in the intestines.
