DPEP1 (Dipeptidase 1): DPEP1 is involved in the hydrolysis of dipeptides and plays a role in detoxification processes, particularly in the kidneys. It participates in the metabolism of glutathione and leukotrienes, which are important for cellular redox balance and inflammation. Variations in DPEP1 activity can affect drug metabolism and the body's response to inflammatory stimuli. Research on DPEP1 focuses on its effects on kidney function, blood pressure, and inflammatory diseases.
