OBESITY RESEARCH SOLUTIONSDiprotin A is a tripeptide inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4; IC50 = 1.1 μg/ml).1 It inhibits degradation of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1; Item No. 24460) in culture with insulin-secreting BRIN-BD11 rat pancreatic β-cells when used at a concentration of 25 μM.2 Diprotin A (5 mg/ml) pre-incubation enhances chemotaxis of murine embryonic stem cells towards stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1/CXCL12) in vitro.3 Pre-incubation of CD34+ human umbilical cord blood cells with diprotin A (5 mM) prior to injection increases engraftment in NOD/SCID recipient mice.4
