General description
Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4), also known as cluster of differentiation 26 (CD26), is localized on T- cell surface and interacts with adenosine deaminase (ADA), collagen and CD459. The gene encoding this protein is localized on human chromosome 2q24.2.
Immunogen
Peptide with sequence C-PPHFDKSKKYP from the internal region of the protein sequence according to NP_001926.2.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) or CD26 plays a vital role in T cell co-stimulation, cell-to-cell adhesion and in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. It functions as a serine protease enzyme that catalyzes the cleavage of dipeptides from peptides containing proline or alanine residues. This protein is a biomarker and therapeutic target for asthma. Deletion of the DPP4 gene affects carbohydrate metabolism which in turn leads to mental retardation and hypotonia. Abnormal expression of the protein is observed during liver regeneration, cirrhosis and liver tumorigenesis. Also, DPP4 level is reduced in serum of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients.
