Abstract excerpt
Fischer 344/CRJ rats harbor a G633R substitution in dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV) that leads to retention and degradation of the mutant protein in the endoplasmic reticulum (Tsuji E, Misumi Y, Fujiwara T et al. Biochemistry 1992; 31 (47): 11921-7). However, when these rats were used as a 'protein knock-out' model in further evaluating the previously established role of DPP IV in metastasis, lung colonization...
