Function

Dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP) is an enzyme which cleaves dipeptides from polypeptides.

  • 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:

  • DPP-XI from Porphyromonas gingivalis cleaves preferentially substrates with Asp/Glu at the P1 position[1].

Relevance

DPP-IV level is alternating in certain malignancies.[2] DPP-IV inhibitors control body glucose levels and provide potential advantages in diabetes type 2 therapies.[3]

Disease

DPP-IV is involved in the development of various chronic liver disease like hepatitis C virus infection.[4]

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. [5]
