Cyclophilin A (CyPA) has been studied as a multifunctional protein that is upregulated in a variety of inflammatory conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune disease, and cancer. CyPA has been classified as an immunophilin and has a variety of intracellular functions, including intracellular signaling, protein trafficking, and the regulation of other proteins activity. Besides its intracellular functions, CyPA is a secreted molecule that has a physiological and pathological role in cardiovascular diseases, making it a potential biomarker and mediator in cardiovascular diseases, such as vascular stenosis, atherosclerosis, and abdominal aortic aneurysms.
