Dpp4 - dipeptidylpeptidase 4

Predicted to enable several functions, including chemorepellent activity; peptidase activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Acts upstream of or within behavioral fear response; locomotory exploration behavior; and psychomotor behavior. Located in intercellular canaliculus. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; inner ear; intraembryonic coelom; liver; and primitive heart tube. Used to study Middle East respiratory syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Middle East respiratory syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human DPP4 (dipeptidyl peptidase 4).
