Gene: DPEP1
Alternate names for this Gene: MBD1|MDP|RDP
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a kidney membrane enzyme involved in the metabolism of glutathione and other similar proteins by dipeptide hydrolysis. The encoded protein is known to regulate leukotriene activity by catalyzing the conversion of leukotriene D4 to leukotriene E4. This protein uses zinc as a cofactor and acts as a disulfide-linked homodimer. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 16
Location in Chromosome : 16q24.3
Description of this Gene: dipeptidase 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
