DPEP1 (Dipeptidase 1): DPEP1 is involved in breaking down dipeptides and plays a role in detoxification, especially in the kidneys. It is part of the metabolism of glutathione and leukotrienes, which are crucial for maintaining cellular redox balance and controlling inflammation. Changes in DPEP1 activity can impact drug metabolism and how the body responds to inflammatory triggers. Research on DPEP1 focuses on its role in kidney function, blood pressure regulation, and inflammatory diseases.
