Our previous work demonstrated that whilst the inflammatory marker C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL10) has prognostic relevance in ovarian cancer, its use is complicated by the presence of multiple, N-terminally modified variants, mediated by several enzymes including Dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 (DPP4). The gene discussed is DPP4; the disease is ovarian carcinoma.
