NCIt related terms : DIPEPTIDYL AMINOPEPTIDASE-LIKE PROTEIN 6;
NCIt definition : A-type potassium channel modulatory protein DPP6 (865 aa, 98 kDa) is encoded by the
human DPP6 gene. This protein is involved in the modulation of both Kv4 (KCND) family
protein localization and voltage-activated A-type potassium ion channel activity.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: An antigen encoded by the DPP6 gene that binds to and regulates the biophysical
characteristics of voltage-gated potassium channels. It can be considered as an autoantigen
and is commonly associated with autoimmune encephalitis.;
NCIt note : Dipeptidyl aminopeptidase-like protein 6 has no aminopeptidase activity due to the
absence of the conserved serine residue normally present in the catalytic domain of
serine proteases.;
