CNDP2

Gene Information
  • Official Symbol: CNDP2
  • Official Name: carnosine dipeptidase 2
  • Aliases and Previous Symbols: N/A
  • Entrez ID: 55748
  • UniProt: Q96KP4
  • Interactions: BioGRID
  • PubMed articles: Open PubMed
  • OMIM: Open OMIM
Function Summary
  • Entrez Summary: N/A
  • UniProt Summary: Hydrolyzes a variety of dipeptides including L-carnosine but has a strong preference for Cys-Gly (PubMed:19346245). Acts as a functional tumor suppressor in gastric cancer via activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. An elevated level of CNDP2 activates the p38 and JNK MAPK pathways to induce cell apoptosis, and a lower level of CNDP2 activates the ERK MAPK pathway to promote cell proliferation (PubMed:24395568). Isoform 2 may play a role as tumor suppressor in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells (PubMed:17121880). Catalyzes the production of N- lactoyl-amino acids from lactate and amino acids by reverse proteolysis (PubMed:25964343). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17121880, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19346245, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24395568, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25964343}.
