Product Description
CNDP Dipeptidase 1 Mouse Recombinant
Overview
CNDP Dipeptidase 1, also known as CNDP1 is a member of the peptidase M20A family. CNDP1 Mannheim which is the shortest allelic form has been more common in the absence of nephropathy in addition to being associated with lower serum carnosinase levels. Furthermore, Carnosine inhibited the increased production of fibronectin as well as collagen type VI in podocytes and the increased production of TGF-beta in mesangial cells. Diabetic patients with the CNDP1 Mannheim variant are less at risk for nephropathy. In addition, on renal cells carnosine protects against the adverse effects of high glucose levels.
Biological Activity
Specific activity is >3,000 pmol/min/ug, and as measured by the hydrolysis of carnosine per minute at pH6.8 at 25°C.
Specifications
