Gene: DPP8
Official Full Name: dipeptidyl peptidase 8provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the peptidase S9B family, a small family of dipeptidyl peptidases that are able to cleave peptide substrates at a prolyl bond. The encoded protein shares similarity with dipeptidyl peptidase IV in that it is ubiquitously expressed, and hydrolyzes the same substrates. These similarities suggest that, like dipeptidyl peptidase IV, this protein may play a role in T-cell activation and immune function. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

DPP8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models where the Dipeptidyl Peptidase 8 (DPP8) gene has been rendered non-functional through targeted gene editing techniques. This powerful tool allows researchers to elucidate the biological roles of DPP8 by creating a clear distinction between normal cellular functions and those altered by the absence of this enzyme’s activity.
The primary function of DPP8 is its involvement in the cleavage of peptide substrates, influencing various physiological processes such as immune response and cellular signaling. By knocking out the DPP8 gene, researchers can study its impact on pathways associated with cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation. These model systems are invaluable for dissecting the downstream effects of DPP8 deficiency, thus providing insights into pathological states where DPP8 is implicated, including certain cancers and autoimmune diseases.
In terms of scientific importance, DPP8 knockout cell lines are versatile platforms used in both basic research and translational studies. They enable investigations into the pathogenic mechanisms underlying DPP8-related conditions and are pivotal in drug discovery efforts aimed at modulating DPP8 activity for therapeutic benefits.
One of the key advantages of DPP8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, compared to alternatives like transient knockdown configurations, is their genomic stability and the ability to perform long-term studies with consistent results. These cell lines eliminate variability that can arise from temporary gene silencing methods, thereby yielding more reliable and reproducible data.
For researchers and clinicians, utilizing DPP8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines not only enhances the understanding of DPP8’s biological roles but also paves the way for developing novel therapeutic strategies. With our commitment to delivering high-quality research tools backed by extensive expertise in genetic engineering, our product stands out as an essential component in the arsenal of modern biological research.
