The purification and characterisation of novel dipeptidyl peptidase IV-like activity from bovine serum [PDF]
, 2004 The discovery of a potentially novel proline-specific peptidase from bovine serum is presented which is capable of cleaving the dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPIV) substrate Gly-Pro-MCA.

New families of carboxyl peptidases: serine-carboxyl peptidases and glutamic peptidases [PDF]
Journal of Biochemistry, 2011 Peptidases or proteinases are now classified into seven families based on the nature of the catalytic residues [MEROPS-the peptidase database (http://merops.sanger.ac.uk/)]. They are aspartic- (first described in 1993), cysteine- (1993), serine- (1993) metallo- (1993), threonine- (1997), glutamic- (2004) and asparagine-peptidase (2010).

Solvent and thermal stability, and pH kinetics, of proline-specific dipeptidyl peptidase IV-like enzyme from bovine serum [PDF]
, 2007 Proline-specific dipeptidyl peptidase-like (DPP IV; EC 3.4.14.5) activity in bovine serum has attracted little attention despite its ready availability and the paucity of useful proline-cleaving enzymes.

Localization of Peptidases in Lactococci [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1992 The localization of two aminopeptidases, an X-prolyl-dipeptidyl aminopeptidase, an endopeptidase, and a tripeptidase in Lactococcus lactis was studied. Polyclonal antibodies raised against each purified peptidase are specific and do not cross-react with other peptidases.
