DPP-I see Cathepsin C is involved in inflammatory diseases. DPP-II is a serine protease. DPP-III acts similarly to DPP-IV. DPP-IV (or CD26) cleaves proline dipeptides from the N-termini and is associated with immune regulation. For details see: Dipeptidyl peptidase IV Saxagliptin Sitagliptin Vildagliptin Treatments:Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitor Pharmacokinetics Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitor Pharmacokinetics. DPP-XI from Porphyromonas gingivalis cleaves preferentially substrates with Asp/Glu at the P1 position. Relevance DPP-IV level is alternating in certain malignancies. DPP-IV inhibitors control body glucose levels and provide potential advantages in diabetes type 2 therapies. Disease DPP-IV is involved in the development of various chronic liver disease like hepatitis C virus infection. Structural highlights Human DPP-I contains 3 chains. Light and heavy chains forming the catalytic site and a third chain including the exclusion domain which is responsible of the exopeptidase activity of DPP-I by partially blocking the active site cleft. The inhibitors binds to a Cys residue at the active site. 3D Structures of Dipeptidyl peptidase Dipeptidyl peptidase 3D structures
