✦ Synopsis
he lymphocyte surface glycoprotein CD26 is characterized by an array of diverse functional properties. Scientists in several disciplines have independently investigated various aspects of CD26 for over three decades, and complementary research in clinical chemistry, enzymology, immunology, virology and medicine was necessary to disclose the complex nature of this intriguing protein 1 . Like CD13 (Ref. 2), CD26 belongs to a unique class of membraneassociated peptidases, and is identical to dipeptidyl-peptidase IV (DPP IV, EC 3.4.14.5). It has a high selectivity for peptides with a proline or alanine at the second position 3 and cleaves off dipeptides at the N-terminus of such peptides.
