Along with angiotensin, LVV-hemorphin-7 has also been shown to bind to and competitively inhibit the multifaceted serine exopeptidase dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) [33], which is responsible for cleaving a number of bioactive peptides and is therefore relevant in a number of independent pathways including RAS and hyperglycemia [34]. Here, DPP4 is linked to Hyperglycemia.
