DPP3 Dipeptidyl-peptidase 3 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ''DPP3'' gene. This gene encodes a protein that is a member of the S9B family in clan SC of the serine proteases. This cytoplasmic protein binds a single zinc ion with its zinc-b ...

DPP4 Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4), also known as adenosine deaminase complexing protein 2 or CD26 (cluster of differentiation 26) is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the ''DPP4'' gene. DPP4 is related to FAP, DPP8, and DPP9. The enzyme was di ...

DPP6 Dipeptidyl aminopeptidase-like protein 6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''DPP6'' gene. This gene encodes a single-pass type II membrane protein that is a member of the S9B family in clan SC of the serine proteases. This protein has ...

DPP7 Dipeptidyl-peptidase 2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ''DPP7'' gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a post-proline cleaving aminopeptidase expressed in quiescent lymphocytes. The resting lymphocytes are maintained through sup ...

DPP8 Dipeptidyl peptidase 8 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ''DPP8'' gene. This gene encodes a member of the peptidase S9B family, a small family of dipeptidyl peptidases that are able to cleave peptide substrates at a prolyl bond. The e ...

DPP9 Dipeptidyl peptidase 9 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ''DPP9'' gene. This gene encodes a protein that is a member of the S9B family in clan SC of the serine proteases. The protein has been shown to have post-proline dipeptidyl ami ...

DPP10 Inactive dipeptidyl peptidase 10 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''DPP10'' gene. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. Function This gene encodes a single-pass type II me ...
