DPP3
gene geneOn this page
Summary
DPP3 (dipeptidyl peptidase 3, HGNC:3008) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 11q13.2, encoding Dipeptidyl peptidase 3 (Q9NY33). Cleaves and degrades bioactive peptides, including angiotensin, Leu-enkephalin and Met-enkephalin.
This gene encodes a protein that is a member of the M49 family of metallopeptidases. This cytoplasmic protein binds a single zinc ion with its zinc-binding motif (HELLGH) and has post-proline dipeptidyl aminopeptidase activity, cleaving Xaa-Pro dipeptides from the N-termini of proteins. Increased activity of this protein is associated with endometrial and ovarian cancers. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.
