Abstract
Dipeptidylpeptidases (DPPs) are serine proteases, which cleave small proteins and peptides possessing a proline or an alanine in the second position of their N-terminus. Among the members of this family, dipeptidylpeptidase 4 (DPP4) is constitutively expressed in the extracellular space. DPP4 is found at the surface of many hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells and is also present in many biological fluids in a bioactive soluble form. DPP4 expression is modulated by inflammation, and measurements of its activity have been used as biomarker for disease. Here, we describe a method to evaluate the enzymatic activity of DPP4 in vitro and in vivo.

Background
The magnitude of the enzymatic activity of DPPs can be an indicator of inflammation; and an important pharmacodynamics parameter for usage of DPP4 inhibitors. Here, we report details for the usage of a commercially available kit to evaluate DPP-enzymatic activity in vitro; and provide details on the generation of biological samples tested. Furthermore, we describe how this method can be used for evaluation of DPP activity in vivo.
