    Oxagen, Milton Park, Oxfordshire, UK
    Nat Genet 35:258-63. 2003
    ..6 kb (DPP10), which extends over 1 Mb of genomic DNA. DPP10 encodes a homolog of dipeptidyl peptidases (DPPs) that cleave terminal dipeptides from cytokines and chemokines, and it presents a potential new target for asthma therapy...

    Oxagen Limited, 91 Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon OX14 4RY, United Kingdom
    Biochem Pharmacol 73:843-53. 2007
    ..These data suggest that PI3K and Ca2+/calcineurin/NFAT signalling pathways are critically involved in pro-inflammatory responses of Th2 cells to PGD2...

    Prostaglandins Other Lipid Mediat 75:153-67. 2005
    ..These data also confirm the selective effect of other PGD2 metabolites on CRTH2 and illustrate how the metabolism of PGD2 may influence the pattern of leukocyte infiltration at sites of allergic inflammation...
