DPEP3

Dipeptidase 3 (DPEP3) is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the DPEP3 is_associated_with::gene.

This gene encodes a membrane-bound glycoprotein from the family of is_associated_with::dipeptidases (EC 3.4.13.19) involved in hydrolytic metabolism of various is_associated_with::dipeptides, including is_associated_with::penem and is_associated_with::carbapenem is_associated_with::beta-lactam antibiotics. This gene is located on chromosome 16 in a cluster with another member of this family, is_associated_with::DPEP2. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different isoforms have been found for this gene.
