DPPIV

Liquid. In 20 mM Tris-HCl, 5 mM CaCl₂, 1 µM ZnCl₂, 0.05% NaN₃, pH 8.0. AVOID FREEZE/THAW CYCLES. Native, DPP IV purified from porcine kidney (renal brush border of the proximal tubule). A serine exopeptidase dimer composed of two identical subunits of 110-130 kDa. Cleaves Xaa-Pro dipeptides from the N-terminus of oligo and polypeptides. DPPIV is involved in many cellular processes such as activation of cytokines, differentiation, T cell activation, and cell-matrix interactions. Inhibition of DPPIV has been reported to be an effective treatment for type II diabetes. MW: ~210000-260000 (unreduced). Specific activity: ≥35 units/mg protein. One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that will hydrolyze 1.0 µmole 7-(Gly-Pro)-amino-4-methylcoumarinamide per min at 37°C, pH 8.5. Purity: ≥90% by SDS-PAGE. EC 3.4.14.5.
