CATEGORY

enzyme

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane
text	GPI-anchored

basic FUNCTION	hydrolyzes a wide range of dipeptides
	implicated in the renal metabolism of glutathione and its conjugates
	converts leukotriene d4 to leukotriene e4; it may play an important role in the regulation of leukotriene activity
	cleaves leukotriene D4 (LTD4) but not cystinyl-bis-glycine
	DPEP2 could protect against Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3)-induced viral myocarditis (VMC) by acting as a suppressor of macrophage inflammation
