CD26: A Multifunctional Integral Membrane and Secreted Protein of Activated Lymphocytes

Abstract: CD26 has proved interesting in the fields of immunology, endocrinology, cancer biology and nutrition owing to its ubiquitous and unusual enzyme activity. This dipeptidyl aminopeptidase (DPP IV) activity generally inactivates but sometimes alters or enhances the biological activities of its peptide substrates, which include several chemokines. CD26 costimulates both the CD3 and the CD2 dependent T-cell activation and tyrosine phosphorylation of TCR/CD3 signal transduction pathway proteins. CD26 in vivo has inte… Show more

“…Although significant, the small increase in CD26 expression by anergic T cells is difficult to reconcile with the dramatic effect of enzymatic activity blockade by both antibody and peptide inhibitor. As CD26 is a member of a large family of ectopeptidases expressed by T cells [22], it is possible that the activity of molecules other than CD26 but equally blocked by the antibody and pYY(3-36) may contribute to the inhibitory effect on migration by anergic T cells. The relative contribution of different enzymes to this effect could be addressed using gene-knockout mice, which is beyond the scope of this investigation.…”

“…DPPIV is outstanding within the group of serine proteases, because it is abundantly distributed, being enzymatically active in both soluble and membrane-bound forms (3). The principle of the inhibition of the serine protease DPPIV to block the degradation of the insulinotropic peptide-hormone GLP-1 has opened up new avenues for the treatment of diabetes type 2 (4).…”

“…The first type, with only one member, is CD26, a multifunctional protein of 110 KDa strongly expressed on epithelial cells (kidney proximal tubules, intestine, and bile duct) and on several types of endothelial cells and fibroblasts and on leukocyte subsets (3)(4)(5). The second type of ecto-ADA-binding proteins includes the adenosine receptors (AR) A 1 (A 1 R) (6) and A 2B (A 2B R) (7).…”
