DPP7 dipeptidyl peptidase 7

Gene ID: 29952, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: QPP; DPP2; DPPII

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a post-proline cleaving aminopeptidase expressed in quiescent lymphocytes. The resting lymphocytes are maintained through suppression of apoptosis, a state which is disrupted by inhibition of this novel serine protease. The enzyme has strong sequence homology with prolylcarboxypeptidase and is active at both acidic and neutral pH. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
