CD26 (also known as dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV), adenosine deaminase (ADA) binding protein) is an atypical serine protease belonging to the prolyl oligopeptidase family. It is expressed on lymphocyte cells and is upregulated during T cell activation. CD26 is also expressed on activated B cells and natural killer cells and abundantly on epithelia. CD26 is implicated in a variety of biological functions including T cell activation, cell adhesion with extracellular matrix such as fibronectin or collagens, and in HIV infection.
