It exhibits a mass of approximately 60 kDa and requires zinc ions for its enzymatic activity. Researchers often find DPEP1 in the kidney where it plays a role in the renal brush border. It is expressed also in other tissues including the intestine and can be found in the lungs and placenta. Its structure allows it to effectively act on a variety of dipeptides primarily those with hydrophobic amino acids.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nDPEP1 is involved in the metabolism of leukotriene and the hydrolysis of cysteinyl leukotrienes. It is a component of the renal proximal tubule and contributes to amino acid transport and homeostasis. Its enzymatic activity modulates the levels of these substrates impacting inflammatory responses. The protein does not function alone; it often forms homomeric structures or interacts with other cellular components to perform its biological duties efficiently.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nThe enzymatic activity of DPEP1 makes it integral to the leukotriene pathway affecting both inflammatory and immune responses. It plays a role in the glutathione metabolism pathway contributing to homeostasis and detoxification processes. DPEP1's activity parallels that of other metabolic enzymes such as gamma-glutamyltransferase 1 (GGT1) which also contributes to glutathione and amino acid metabolism. These pathways showcase how DPEP1's function is tied into broader metabolic and regulatory networks.\u003cbr\u003e\nDPEP1 is associated with conditions such as acute kidney injury and asthma. Abnormal expression or activity of DPEP1 can lead to distorted cysteinyl leukotriene levels affecting inflammation and tissue remodeling in asthmatic conditions. Additionally its expression patterns in renal tissues make it a potential marker or target in kidney disease contexts. Other proteins such as leukotriene C4 synthase interact with DPEP1 in these disease states illustrating its relevance in pathophysiological conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854226641065,"sku":"ab121380","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab121380","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
