'''Dipeptidyl peptidase-4''' ('''DPP4''' or '''DPPIV'''), also known as '''adenosine deaminase complexing protein 2''' or '''CD26''' ([[cluster of differentiation]] 26) is a [[protein]] that, in humans, is encoded by the ''DPP4'' [[gene]]. DPP4 is related to [[FAP (gene)|FAP]], [[DPP8]], and [[DPP9]]. The enzyme was discovered in 1966 by Hopsu-Havu and Glenner, and as a result of various studies on chemism, was called dipeptidyl peptidase IV [DP IV]. | '''Dipeptidyl peptidase-4''' ('''DPP4''' or '''DPPIV'''), also known as '''adenosine deaminase complexing protein 2''' or '''CD26''' ([[cluster of differentiation]] 26) is a [[protein]] that, in humans, is encoded by the ''DPP4'' [[gene]].
