Prolidase (EC 3.4.13.9) is a ubiquitously distributed imidodipeptidase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of C-terminal proline or hydroxyproline containing dipeptides. The enzyme plays an important role in the recycling of proline for collagen synthesis and cell growth. An increase in enzyme activity is

## Abstract The stromal cellβderived factorβ1 (SDFβ1)/CXC receptor 4 (CXCR4) axis has been shown to play a role in colorectal cancer progression. In addition, the protease urokinaseβtype plasminogen activator (uPA) is an important factor in tumor cell invasion and metastasis. However, the mechanism
## BACKGROUND. Urokinase plasminogen activator (u-PA) plays a key role in the metastatic process by promoting plasmin mediated tissue degradation. Metastatic cell invasion requires localized proteolysis, which may be directed by u-PA receptor. The binding of u-PA and PAI-1 to the u-PA-receptor may
