Biological function summary
PRD interacts with cellular mechanisms critical for podocyte stability. PRD associates with lipid rafts specialized membrane structures suggesting a role in signal transduction. It functions as part of a larger protein complex that includes nephrin and podocin essential components of the slit diaphragm in podocytes. PRD is involved in cytoskeletal dynamics regulating actin filament organization important for maintaining cell shape and adhesion.
Pathways
Several cellular activities incorporate PRD into their processes. It is closely tied to the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway a critical pathway regulating cell survival and growth. In the slit diaphragm context PRD works alongside nephrin and p130Cas forming a signaling cascade that ensures effective communication between podocytes. These pathways help maintain the health of the glomerular filtration system by responding to mechanical and biochemical stimuli.

General info
Function
Dipeptidase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of dipeptides with a prolyl (Xaa-Pro) or hydroxyprolyl residue in the C-terminal position (PubMed : 17081196, PubMed : 35165443). The preferred dipeptide substrate is Gly-Pro, but other Xaa-Pro dipeptides, such as Ala-Pro, Met-Pro, Phe-Pro, Val-Pro and Leu-Pro, can be cleaved (PubMed : 17081196). Plays an important role in collagen metabolism because the high level of iminoacids in collagen (PubMed : 2925654).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the peptidase M24B family. Eukaryotic-type prolidase subfamily.
