CD26 is produced as normal BUT DOES NOT LEAVE THE CELL in CFS. strange but true.
so no cleavage of NPY
Natasa...In autism the suggestion to correct the DPP 1V/CD26 enzyme deficiency is to replace the enzyme by supplementing DPP 1V however as you mention here in CFS it is produced as normal but does not leave the cell so I wonder what this would mean treatment wise for CFS ?
Quote " If DPP IV deficiency results in autism, what can be done? If the enzyme is missing, replacing it should solve the deficiency."
