Application

DPP9 is a protease of the DPP4 gene family that is used in cancer research to study the regulation of survival and proliferation pathways. DPP9 is used to study cell-extracellular matrix interactions and tissue remodeling.

Biochem/physiol Actions

DPP IX is a member of the S9b family of dipeptidyl peptidases and cleaves the peptide hormones glucagon-like peptide-1, glucagon-like peptide-2, neuropeptide Y and peptide YY with marked kinetic differences compared with dipeptidyl peptidase IV. It has a role in regulating cell survival and proliferation through modulating molecular signaling cascades. Protein kinase B activation is significantly inhibited by human DPP9 overexpression in human hepatoma cells (HepG2 and Huh7) and human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293T). DPP9 is thought to influence cell-extracellular matrix interactions and may be involved in the regulation of tissue remodeling .

The dipeptidyl peptidase IV gene family contains the four peptidases dipeptidyl peptidase IV, fibroblast activation protein, dipeptidyl peptidase 8 and dipeptidyl peptidase 9. Dipeptidyl peptidase IV and fibroblast activation protein are involved in cell-extracellular matrix interactions and tissue remodeling. Fibroblast

Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP4), DPP8, DPP9, and fibroblast activation protein (FAP), the four proteases of the DPP4 gene family, have unique peptidase and extra-enzymatic activities that have been implicated in various diseases including cancers. We report here a novel role
