DPP IV Immunocapture Activity Assay Kit

• Cat.No.: Kit-0313
• Product Overview: Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV) is a serine exopeptidase. The natural substrate of this enzyme include chemokines, cytokines, endomorphines, hormones and the pancreatic polypeptide of the PACAP/glucagons peptide family. Of particular interest is the ability of DPP IV to regulate incretin hormones. Since these hormones are deactivated by DPP IV, a multivalent method of treatment for type 2 diabetes and, more generally, in glucose metabolism disorders, is opened by the inhibition of this protease.

Q&As

How does DPP4 relate to diabetes?

DPP4 plays a crucial role in glucose homeostasis by cleaving incretin hormones. In diabetes, inhibiting DPP4 can enhance the action of these hormones, promoting insulin release and lowering blood sugar levels.

Are there any side effects associated with DPP4 inhibitors?

Common side effects of DPP4 inhibitors include respiratory and urinary tract infections, headache, and nasopharyngitis. However, they are generally well-tolerated.

What clinical applications does DPP4 have in managing type 2 diabetes?

Inhibitors of DPP4 are used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes to improve glycemic control. They work by prolonging the activity of incretin hormones, such as GLP-1, which stimulate insulin secretion.

Can DPP4 inhibitors be used as a monotherapy for diabetes?

DPP4 inhibitors are often used as monotherapy or in combination with other antidiabetic medications to achieve optimal glycemic control.

How do DPP4 inhibitors differ from other diabetes medications?

DPP4 inhibitors work by enhancing the effects of incretin hormones, while other diabetes medications may act on insulin sensitivity, insulin release, or glucose absorption.
