High impact information on Dpp6

  • We purified A-type K(+) channel complexes from rat brain membranes and found that DPPX, a protein of unknown function that is structurally related to the dipeptidyl aminopeptidase and cell adhesion protein CD26, is a novel component of A-type K(+) channels [1].
  • The membrane topology of DPPX-S and -L is similar to that of other transmembrane peptidases, and DPPX-S share approximately 30% identity and 50% similarity with reported yeast and rat liver dipeptidyl aminopeptidase amino acid sequences, suggesting that DPPX is a member of the dipeptidyl aminopeptidase family [2].
  • Seven genes, lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase, dipeptidyl aminopeptidase related protein, phospholipase C delta 4, plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase isoform 2, G-protein GO alpha subunit, GABA transporter 3, and neuroendrocrine protein 7B2 were down-regulated greater than 50% in SCI tissue [3].
