Background

Calcineurin, also called Protein Phosphatase 2B, PP2B, PPP2B, Protein Phosphatase 3, and PPP3, is an enzyme that dephosphorylates serine and threonine residues in proteins. It is a heterodimer of a 59,000 dalton catalytic A subunit and a 1,900 dalton regulatory B subunit that is activated by the binding of calcium ions and calmodulin (1). Calcineurin is expressed in many tissues, but its levels are highest in the brain, where it may play a role in learning and memory (2). It has many substrates, including NFAT, a transcription factor that is activated by dephosphorylation (3). Complexes of the immunosuppressants cyclosporin and FK506 with immunophilin proteins such as cyclophilin and FKBP12 are potent and specific inhibitors of Calcineurin activity (4). Alterations in Calcineurin activity are suspected to play a role in cardiac hypertrophy (5) and graft versus host disease in organ transplantation (6).
