Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 is a complex enzyme that exists as a membrane-anchored cell surface peptidase that transmits intracellular signals via a short intracellular tail and as a second smaller soluble form present in the circulation. DPP-4 cleaves a large number of chemokines and peptide hormones in vitro, but comparatively fewer peptides have been identified as endogenous physiological substrates for DPP-4 in vivo. Both glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) are endogenous physiological substrates for DPP-4, and chemical inhibition of DPP-4 activity, or genetic inactivation of DPP-4 in rodents, results in increased levels of intact bioactive GIP and GLP-1. Furthermore, mice and rats with genetic inactivation or inhibition of DPP-4 exhibit improved glucose tolerance, elevated levels of GLP-1 and GIP, and resistance to diet-induced obesity and hyperglycemia. Sustained DPP-4 inhibition lowers blood glucose via stimulation of insulin and inhibition of glucagon secretion and is associated with preservation of β-cell mass in preclinical studies. Although DPP-4 cleaves dozens of regulatory peptides and chemokines in vitro, studies of mice with genetic inactivation of incretin receptors demonstrate that GIP and GLP-1 receptor–dependent pathways represent the dominant mechanisms transducing the glucoregulatory actions of DPP-4 inhibitors in vivo. The available preclinical data suggests that highly selective DPP-4 inhibition represents an effective and safe strategy for the therapy of type 2 diabetes. DPP-4 is a widely expressed cell surface peptidase that exhibits a complex biology encompassing cell membrane–associated activation of intracellular signal transduction pathways, cell-cell interaction, and enzymatic activity exhibited by both the membrane-anchored and soluble forms of the enzyme (1). DPP-4, also originally known as the lymphocyte cell surface marker CD26, or as the adenosine deaminase (ADA)-binding protein, is a 766–amino acid serine protease that preferentially cleaves peptide hormones containing a position two alanine or proline. The human gene encoding DPP has been localized …

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
