This gene encodes a member of the peptidase S9B family, a small family of dipeptidyl peptidases that are able to cleave peptide substrates at a prolyl bond. The encoded protein shares similarity with dipeptidyl peptidase-4 in that it is ubiquitously expressed, and hydrolyzes the same substrates. These similarities suggest that, like dipeptidyl peptidase IV, this protein may play a role in T-cell activation and immune function. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.<ref name="entrez" /> A relatively specific inhibitor of DPP8 and DPP9, Val-boroPro <ref>{{cite web | title = PubChem:Val-boroPro| url = https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/#query=Val-boroPro}}</ref>-,<ref name="pmid29396289">{{cite journal | vauthors = Okondo MC, Rao SD, Taabazuing CY, Chui AJ, Poplawski SE, Johnson DC, Bachovchin DA | title = Inhibition of Dpp8/9 Activates the Nlrp1b Inflammasome | journal = Cell Chemical Biology | volume = 25 | issue = 3 | pages = 262–267.e5 | date = March 2018 | pmid = 29396289 | pmc = 5856610 | doi = 10.1016/j.chembiol.2017.12.013 | url = }}</ref> leads to increased activation of the inflammasome though both NLRBP1 and CARD8 and can trigger pyroptosis.<ref name="pmid29967349">{{cite journal | vauthors = Johnson DC, Taabazuing CY, Okondo MC, Chui AJ, Rao SD, Brown FC, Reed C, Peguero E, de Stanchina E, Kentsis A, Bachovchin DA | title = DPP8/DPP9 inhibitor-induced pyroptosis for treatment of acute myeloid leukemia | journal = Nature Medicine | volume = 24 | issue = 8 | pages = 1151–1156 | date = August 2018 | pmid = 29967349 | pmc = 6082709 | doi = 10.1038/s41591-018-0082-y | url = }}</ref>
