About DPP8

Cytogenetic location: 15q22.31 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 15:65,442,467-65,517,689 (from NCBI)

This gene has 16 transcripts (splice variants), 133 orthologues and 6 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in brain (RPKM 9.5), testis (RPKM 9.3) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

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 IV 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
