DPP9

DPP9, also known as dipeptidyl peptidase 9, is a protein-coding gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the serine protease family. Serine proteases are enzymes that cleave peptide bonds in proteins. DPP9 is thought to play a role in various cellular processes, although its exact functions are still under investigation. It has been observed to be expressed in a wide range of human tissues. Research into DPP9's specific biological activities and potential involvement in disease states is ongoing. Studies have suggested that DPP9 might be implicated in pathways related to cell growth and survival. Further research is needed to fully elucidate its physiological and pathological roles.
