Entry terms

  • Adenosine Deaminase Complexing Protein 2
  • Antigen, CD26
  • Antigens, CD26
  • CD26 Antigen
  • CD26 Antigens
  • Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV
  • Dipeptidyl-Peptidase IV

Scope note

  • A serine protease that catalyses the release of an N-terminal dipeptide. Several biologically-active peptides have been identified as dipeptidyl peptidase 4 substrates including INCRETINS; NEUROPEPTIDES; and CHEMOKINES. The protein is also found bound to ADENOSINE DEAMINASE on the T-CELL surface and is believed to play a role in T-cell activation.
