Expression and activity profiles of DPP IV/CD26 and NEP/CD10 glycoproteins in the human renal cancer are tumor-type dependent
(BioMed Central, 2010-05)
Background: Cell-surface glycoproteins play critical roles in cell-to-cell recognition, signal transduction and regulation, thus being crucial in cell proliferation and cancer etiogenesis and development. DPP IV and NEP ...
Sex differences in the aging pattern of renin–angiotensin system serum peptidases
(Biomed Central, 2017-02-03)
Background: Serum peptidases, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE2), neutral endopeptidase (NEP), aminopeptidase N (APN), and aminopeptidase A (APA), are important elements of ...
Bone Health and Its Relationship with Impact Loading and the Continuity of Physical Activity throughout School Periods
(MDPI, 2019-08-14)
Bone is influenced by physical activity (PA) throughout life, but childhood and adolescence provide a key opportunity to maximize peak bone mass. Thus, it is important to identify the relationship between PA practiced in ...
Altered glutamyl-aminopeptidase activity and expression in renal neoplasms
(Biomed Central, 2014-05-30)
Background: Advances in the knowledge of renal neoplasms have demonstrated the implication of several proteases in their genesis, growth and dissemination. Glutamyl-aminopeptidase (GAP) (EC. 3.4.11.7) is a zinc metallopeptidase ...
Dipeptidyl-Peptidase IV Activity Is Correlated with Colorectal Cancer Prognosis
(Public Library Science, 2015-03-19)
Background
Dipeptidyl-peptidase IV (EC 3.4.14.5) (DPPIV) is a serine peptidase involved in cell differentiation, adhesion, immune modulation and apoptosis, functions that control neoplastic transformation. Previous ...
