DPP IV is found in diverse tissue types and is involved in various biological functions. The activity of DPP IV has been studied in fields like immunology, endocrinology, and the biology of cancers. <ref name="Gorrell"/> The ability of DPP IV to inactivate incretins glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) have made it a well-studied protein because of its potential as a drug target for the treatment of Type II Diabetes | DPP IV is found in diverse tissue types and is involved in various biological functions.
