DPP6 (Dipeptidyl Peptidase 6, DPPX, Dipeptidylpeptidase 6, Dipeptidyl aminopeptidase-like protein 6, Dipeptidyl aminopeptidase-related protein, Dipeptidyl peptidase IV-like protein)

Dipeptidyl aminopeptidase-like protein 6 is a single-pass type II membrane protein that is a member of the S9B family in clan SC of the serine proteases. This protein has no detectable protease activity, most likely due to the absence of the conserved serine residue normally present in the catalytic domain of serine proteases. However, it does bind specific voltage-gated potassium channels and alters their expression and biophysical properties. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. This trend was most pronounced for the subset of genes implicated in nervous system development. Moreover, within primates, the acceleration of protein evolution was most prominent in the lineage leading from ancestral primates to humans.
