ABclonal Technology 700 anti-Human CD26/DPP4
The DPP4 gene encodes dipeptidyl peptidase 4 which is identical to adenosine deaminase complexing protein-2 and to the T-cell activation antigen CD26 It is an intrinsic type II transmembrane glycoprotein and a serine exopeptidase that cleaves X-proline dipeptides from the N-terminus of polypeptides Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 is highly involved in glucose and insulin metabolism as well as in immune regulation This protein was shown to be a functional receptor for Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and protein modeling suggests that it may play a similar role with SARS-CoV-2 the virus responsible for COVID-19
