CD26/DPPIV can associate with several proteins, among them fibroblast activating protein-alpha (FAP-alpha), plasminogen, adenosine deaminase (ADA), the tyrosine phosphatase CD45, and the chemokine receptor CXCR4. It can also bind to the extracellular matrix (ECM) and depending on the presence of other ligands, this process can either lead to increased or decreased invasive activity of the cells on which it is expressed. As a result of these characteristics, CD26/DPPIV plays an important??role??in tumor biology, and is useful as a marker for various cancers
