Preferred Label : dipeptidyl peptidase 4;
Definition : The protein encoded by the DPP4 gene is an enzyme expressed on the surface of most
cell types and is associated with immune regulation, signal transduction, and apoptosis.
It is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein, but a soluble form, which lacks the intracellular
and transmembrane part, is present in blood plasma and various body fluids. DPP-4
is a serine exopeptidase that cleaves X-proline or X-alanine dipeptides from the N-terminus
of polypeptides. (Wikipedia);
Synonyme : Dpp4; adenosine deaminase complexing protein 2;
