DPP7 Polyclonal Antibody

DPP2 is a serine protease found most abundantly in the lysosome. There is also a non-lysosomal membrane-associated form of DPP2 reported in the rat brain (DPP-II-M), and a soluble form (DPP-II-S) . First discovered as an enzyme involved in the terminal steps of protein degradation, and later as an enzyme involved in cell growth and quiescence, DPP2 cleaves N-terminal dipeptides and tripeptides from proteins. DPP2 has a preference for proline in the P1 position, and processes the tripeptides generated by DPP1 (which is unable to cleave if proline is in the P1 position) . Some tumor cell lines express elevated DPP2 levels, and serum levels of DPP2 are elevated in some cancer patients, making DPP2 a potential tumor marker. DPP2 levels have been also been reported to be elevated in the cerebral spinal fluid from Parkinson?s patients.
