Activity of dipeptidyl peptidase II and dipeptidyl peptidase IV in human gingiva with chronic marginal periodontitis

T Mizutani et al. Arch Oral Biol. 1990.

Abstract

The activity of DPP II was higher in gingiva from patients with periodontitis, but the activity of DPP IV, post-proline cleaving enzyme and collagenase-like peptidase was not significantly higher than that of the control group. As DPP II activity is known to be altered in immunological diseases, these findings may suggest some role for DPP II in the pathogenesis of chronic marginal periodontitis.
