Product Specs

Introduction
CNDP Dipeptidase 1, also known as CNDP1, is a member of the peptidase M20A family. The CNDP1 Mannheim variant, the shortest allelic form, has been linked to a lower risk of nephropathy and is associated with lower serum carnosinase levels. Carnosine has been shown to inhibit the increased production of fibronectin and collagen type VI in podocytes, as well as the increased production of TGF-beta in mesangial cells. Diabetic patients with the CNDP1 Mannheim variant have a reduced risk of developing nephropathy. Carnosine also protects renal cells against the damaging effects of high glucose levels.

Product Science Overview

Gene and Protein Structure

The CNDP1 gene contains a trinucleotide (CTG) repeat length polymorphism in its coding region . This polymorphism has been associated with susceptibility to various conditions, including diabetic nephropathy . The recombinant human CNDP1 protein is typically expressed in systems such as HEK 293 cells or Baculovirus . The protein is often tagged with a His-tag at the C-terminus to facilitate purification and detection .

Biological Function

CNDP Dipeptidase 1 primarily functions to hydrolyze dipeptides, specifically carnosine (β-alanyl-L-histidine), into its constituent amino acids . Carnosine is known for its antioxidant properties and its role in buffering pH in muscles . By breaking down carnosine, CNDP1 helps regulate its levels in tissues and fluids.

Expression and Tissue Distribution

CNDP1 is predominantly expressed in the brain, but it is also found in other tissues such as the kidney and liver . The enzyme’s activity in serum has led to its alternative name, Serum Carnosinase .

Clinical Significance

Variations in the CNDP1 gene have been linked to different health conditions. For instance, certain polymorphisms are associated with a higher risk of developing diabetic nephropathy, a complication of diabetes that affects the kidneys . Understanding the function and regulation of CNDP1 can provide insights into potential therapeutic targets for such conditions.

Recombinant Protein Production

Recombinant human CNDP1 is produced using various expression systems to ensure high purity and activity. The protein is often purified to >95% purity and has low endotoxin levels (<1 EU/µg), making it suitable for research applications . It is used in studies to understand the enzyme’s structure, function, and role in disease.
