| Tissue Specificity | Isoform 1: Ubiquitously expressed with higher levels in kidney and liver (at protein level). Expressed in peripheral blood leukocytes. Expressed in gastric mucosa and down-regulated in gastric cancer mucosal tissues (at protein level). Isoform 2: Broadly expressed in fetal tissues. Expressed in adult liver and placenta. |
| Function | Catalyzes the peptide bond hydrolysis in dipeptides, displaying a non-redundant activity toward threonyl dipeptides. Mediates threonyl dipeptide catabolism in a tissue-specific way. Has high dipeptidase activity toward cysteinylglycine, an intermediate metabolite in glutathione metabolism. Metabolizes N-lactoyl-amino acids, both through hydrolysis to form lactic acid and amino acids, as well as through their formation by reverse proteolysis. Plays a role in the regulation of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. |
