Gene: DPP7

Alternate names for this Gene: DPP2|DPPII|QPP

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a post-proline cleaving aminopeptidase expressed in quiescent lymphocytes. The resting lymphocytes are maintained through suppression of apoptosis, a state which is disrupted by inhibition of this novel serine protease. The enzyme has strong sequence homology with prolylcarboxypeptidase and is active at both acidic and neutral pH.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 9

Location in Chromosome : 9q34.3

Description of this Gene: dipeptidyl peptidase 7

Type of Gene: protein-coding
