Dipeptidyl peptidases and related proteins: multifaceted markers and therapeutic targets.
By far the best known member of this family of peptidases is dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4, DPPIV, EC 3.4.14.5), an enzyme that was discovered more than four decades ago. It is expressed in a variety of tissues and a soluble form is present in plasma. It was found to be identical to the cell surface protein CD26. Complementary research in clinical chemistry, enzymology and immunology initially i...
متن کاملDipeptidyl peptidases 8 and 9: specificity and molecular characterization compared with dipeptidyl peptidase IV.
Dipeptidyl peptidases 8 and 9 have been identified as gene members of the S9b family of dipeptidyl peptidases. In the present paper, we report the characterization of recombinant dipeptidyl peptidases 8 and 9 using the baculovirus expression system. We have found that only the full-length variants of the two proteins can be expressed as active peptidases, which are 882 and 892 amino acids in le...
متن کاملThe Age-related Changes in SOD Activity in Bovine (Bos taurus) Reproductive Organs
Background: The appearance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is connect with oxidative energy production particularly in reproductive organs. They characterize by increased metabolism, which may change during ageing. Their increase could be dangerous for germ cells. That is why the antioxidant protection is need. One of the main antioxidative enzyme is superoxide dismutase (SOD) which could be r...
متن کاملDevelopment of the reproductive organs.
Understanding of the development of the reproductive organs is essential to the evaluation of abnormalities in sexual differentiation. Recent advances resulting from application of genetic, biochemical, and ultrastructural techniques have helped to clarify the mechanisms regulating gonadal and reproductive tract development. The present review considers the major processes of sexual differentia...
متن کاملSelenium in human male reproductive organs.
The objective of the study was to obtain information on the concentration and distribution of selenium throughout the human male reproductive tract. Material was removed at autopsy from 41 men who had died suddenly and unexpectedly. Semen samples were also provided from 184 men attending an andrology clinic for fertility investigation and from 32 healthy volunteers. Significant positive correla...
