Dipeptidyl peptidase 9 (DPP9) is an intracellular serine protease belonging to the S9B family primarily recognized for its enzymatic function of cleaving dipeptides from polypeptides. It is known alternatively as DPPIV-like protease with a molecular weight of approximately 92 kDa. DPP9 is expressed in multiple tissues with higher levels seen in the liver kidney and lung. Its role is critical for processing proteins influencing their maturation and function.
Biological function summary
DPP9 acts in several processes beyond simple protease activity. It modulates antigen presentation and immune responses. It functions mainly intracellularly and is not typically secreted. While DPP9 does not form stable complexes with other proteins it does interact dynamically with several cellular proteins to perform its roles. Its enzyme activity can regulate peptide hormones and chemokines implicating it in immune modulation.
Pathways
DPP9 plays roles in the regulation of insulin signaling and immune system pathways. It modulates the activity of proteins like fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and is directly involved in the processing of bioactive peptides related to the immune response. DPP9 shares functional traits with DPP8 another member of the dipeptidyl peptidase family which also cleaves similar substrates and participates in overlapping pathways.
DPP9 is implicated in certain cancers and inflammatory diseases. For instance its dysregulation correlates with hepatocellular carcinoma. High DPP9 expression is also linked to inflammatory diseases where immune system alterations are pronounced. DPP4 a related enzyme also participates in these conditions highlighting potential therapeutic intervention points targeting both DPP9 and DPP4.
