General description

Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4), also known as CD26 and adenosine deaminase complexing protein 2, is a serine exopeptidase that cleaves X-Proline and X-Alanine residues from the N-termini of polypeptides.[1] DPP4 is a transmembrane glycoprotein whose activity regulates the bioactivity of multiple peptides such as growth factors, chemokines, and neuropeptides. DPP4 plays a major role in glucose metabolism via the regulation of glucagon-like peptide-1 and inhibitors of DPP4 are commonly used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. DPP4 also plays an important role in immune regulation and may play a role in tumor suppression. Deletion of the DPP4 gene affects carbohydrate metabolism which in turn leads to mental retardation and hypotonia. Abnormal expression of the protein is observed during liver regeneration, cirrhosis and liver tumorigenesis.[2][3]

Application

DPP4 Activity Assay Kit has been used to determine the activity of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) in homogenates.[4][5]

Features and Benefits

Compatible with high-throughput handling systems.

Suitability

Suitable for the measurement of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) in a variety of samples including tissue, cells and serum

Principle

The DPP4 Activity Assay kit provides a simple and direct procedure for measuring DPP4 activity in a variety of samples. In this assay, DPP4 cleaves a non-fluorescent substrate, H-Gly-Pro-AMC, to release a fluorescent product, 7-Amino-4-Methyl Coumarin (AMC) (λex = 360/λem = 460 nm). One unit of DPP4 is the amount of enzyme that will hydrolyze the DPP4 substrate to yield 1.0 μmole of AMC per minute at 37 °C.

We had earlier reported that the extract of Pueraria tuberosa significantly inhibits DPP-IV enzyme, resulting in glucose tolerance response in rats. In this study, we have explored the active phytochemicals responsible for this potential. The results have been validated in

Platelet-derived growth factor-B (PDGF-B) is a main factor to promote adipose tissue angiogenesis, which is responsible for the tissue expansion in obesity. In this process, PDGF-B induces the dissociation of pericytes from blood vessels; however, its regulatory mechanism remains unclear.

Questions

1–6 of 6 Questions  
  1. Because the positive control in MAK088 DPP4 activity kit is a recombinant human DPP4, could I order extra "D4943 Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV human" so that I can use the kit as an inhibitor screening kit? Thank you in advance for your reply.

    1 answer
    1. Although the activity of D4943 Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV human is not determined using the kit, the product should be suitable for use with the kit for screening DPP4 assay inhibitors.

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  3. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

  5. Hi, I purchased DPP4 Kit (MAK088) for testing pulse flour samples. The DPP4 assay buffer is limited in amount for hydrating pulse flour samples. Could I use 0.1M, pH8 Tris-HCl buffer instead? and what is the major component of your DPP4 assay buffer?

    1 answer
    1. The assay buffer supplied in Kit MAK088 is optimized for the reactions they are designed for. It is recommended to use the buffers in the kit. The components within the buffer are considered confidential and cannot be disclosed.
