Abstract excerpt
Dipeptidyl peptidase III (DPP III), a zinc exopeptidase, is involved in the final steps of intercellular protein degradation and has a marked affinity for opioid peptides such as enkephalins and endomorphins. Recently, we characterized a number of neuropeptides as potential substrates and inhibitors of human DPP III and provided an explanation for their differential behavior. These studies prompted us to...
