DPP4 Antibody from MyBioSource.com

Function: Cell surface glycoprotein receptor involved in the costimulatory signal essential for T-cell receptor (TCR)-mediated T-cell activation. Acts as a positive regulator of T-cell coactivation, by binding at least ADA, CAV1, IGF2R, and PTPRC. Its binding to CAV1 and CARD11 induces T-cell proliferation and NF-kappa-B activation in a T-cell receptor/CD3-dependent manner. Its interaction with ADA also regulates lymphocyte-epithelial cell adhesion. In association with FAP is involved in the pericellular proteolysis of the extracellular matrix (ECM), the migration and invasion of endothelial cells into the ECM. May be involved in the promotion of lymphatic endothelial cells adhesion, migration and tube formation. When overexpressed, enhanced cell proliferation, a process inhibited by GPC3. Acts also as a serine exopeptidase with a dipeptidyl peptidase activity that regulates various physiological processes by cleaving peptides in the circulation, including many chemokines, mitogenic growth factors, neuropeptides and peptide hormones. Removes N-terminal dipeptides sequentially from polypeptides having unsubstituted N-termini provided that the penultimate residue is proline.
Subunit Structure: Monomer. Homodimer (PubMed:12832764, PubMed:15448155, PubMed:17287217, PubMed:12646248, PubMed:12483204, PubMed:12906826). Heterodimer with Seprase (FAP) (PubMed:16651416). Requires homodimerization for optimal dipeptidyl peptidase activity and T-cell costimulation. Found in a membrane raft complex, at least composed of BCL10, CARD11, DPP4 and IKBKB (PubMed:17287217). Associates with collagen (PubMed:8526932). Interacts with PTPRC; the interaction is enhanced in a interleukin-12-dependent manner in activated lymphocytes (PubMed:12676959). Interacts (via extracellular domain) with ADA; does not inhibit its dipeptidyl peptidase activity (PubMed:15016824, PubMed:10951221, PubMed:14691230, PubMed:7907293, PubMed:8101391). Interacts with CAV1 (via the N-terminus); the interaction is direct (PubMed:17287217). Interacts (via cytoplasmic tail) with CARD11 (via PDZ domain); its homodimerization is necessary for interaction with CARD11 (PubMed:17287217). Interacts with IGF2R; the interaction is direct (PubMed:10900005). Interacts with GPC3 (PubMed:17549790). Interacts with human coronavirus-EMC spike protein and acts as a receptor for this virus (PubMed:23486063).
Post-translational Modifications: The soluble form (Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 soluble form also named SDPP) derives from the membrane form (Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 membrane form also named MDPP) by proteolytic processing. N-and O-Glycosylated. Phosphorylated. Mannose 6-phosphate residues in the carbohydrate moiety are necessary for interaction with IGF2R in activated T-cells. Mannose 6-phosphorylation is induced during T-cell activation.
Similarity: The extracellular cysteine-rich region is necessary for association with collagen, dimer formation and optimal dipeptidyl peptidase activity. Belongs to the peptidase S9B family. DPPIV subfamily
