Abstract
► DP4 is a serine type protease that cleaves enteroendocrine peptides GLP-1, GLP-2, PYY and GIP. ► The role of DP4 has not been explored in gut inflammation. ► Decreased tissue and plasma DP4 expression was demonstrated in Crohn's disease. ► This may impact on the activity of EEC derived regulatory peptides. ► DP4 is a potential therapeutic target in inflammatory bowel disease.
