Dipeptidyl peptidase 8 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the DPP8 gene. [5] [6]
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 encoded protein shares similarity with dipeptidyl peptidase-4 in that it is ubiquitously expressed, and hydrolyzes the same substrates. These similarities suggest that, like dipeptidyl peptidase IV, this protein may play a role in T-cell activation and immune function. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [6] A relatively specific inhibitor of DPP8 and DPP9, Val-boroPro [7] -, [8] leads to increased activation of the inflammasome though both NLRBP1 and CARD8 and can trigger pyroptosis. [9]
Cathepsin C (CTSC) also known as dipeptidyl peptidase I (DPP-I) is a lysosomal exo-cysteine protease belonging to the peptidase C1 protein family, a subgroup of the cysteine cathepsins. In humans, it is encoded by the CTSC gene.
Dipeptidyl peptidase-4, also known as adenosine deaminase complexing protein 2 or CD26 is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the DPP4 gene. DPP4 is related to FAP, DPP8, and DPP9. The enzyme was discovered in 1966 by Hopsu-Havu and Glenner, and as a result of various studies on chemism, was called dipeptidyl peptidase IV [DP IV].
Leucyl/cystinyl aminopeptidase, also known as cystinyl aminopeptidase (CAP), insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP), human placental leucine aminopeptidase (PLAP), oxytocinase, and vasopressinase, is an enzyme of the aminopeptidase group that in humans is encoded by the LNPEP gene.
Tyrosine-protein kinase ITK/TSK also known as interleukin-2-inducible T-cell kinase or simply ITK, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ITK gene. ITK is a member of the TEC family of kinases and is highly expressed in T cells.
Cartilage associated protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CRTAP gene.
Gamma-interferon-inducible protein Ifi-16 (Ifi-16) also known as interferon-inducible myeloid differentiation transcriptional activator is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFI16 gene.
Egl nine homolog 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EGLN2 gene. ELGN2 is an alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent hydroxylase, a superfamily of non-haem iron-containing proteins.
Fibroblast activation protein alpha (FAP-alpha) also known as prolyl endopeptidase FAP is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the FAP gene.
Dipeptidyl-peptidase 3 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the DPP3 gene.
Dipeptidyl aminopeptidase-like protein 6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DPP6 gene.
40S ribosomal protein S10 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RPS10 gene.
Attractin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ATRN gene.
Dipeptidyl-peptidase 2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the DPP7 gene.
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.
Xaa-Pro aminopeptidase 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the XPNPEP1 gene.
Dipeptidyl peptidase 9 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the DPP9 gene.
Aminopeptidase B is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the RNPEP gene.
Prolyl endopeptidase-like is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PREPL gene.
The PGPEP1 gene in humans encodes the enzyme Pyroglutamyl-peptidase I.
