Serum glycylproline dipeptidyl aminopeptidase activity in human hepatic cancer. 1979

J Kojima, and M Kanatani, and M Kato, and F Tojoh, and N Nakamura

A method for the assay of glycylproline dipeptidyl aminopeptidase activity in the serum is described. The enzyme activity determination in sera from patients with hepatic cancer opens a possibility in the differential diagnosis of hepatobiliary diseases, because of the significantly higher values found in some cases of hepatic cancer. No correlation with alpha-fetoprotein was found.
