Facts about Cytosolic non-specific dipeptidase.
An elevated level of CNDP2 activates the p38 and JNK MAPK pathways to induce cell apoptosis, and a lower degree of CNDP2 activates the ERK MAPK pathway to promote cell proliferation (PubMed:24395568). Isoform 2 may play a role as tumor suppressor in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells (PubMed:17121880).

Isoform 1 is ubiquitously expressed with higher levels in kidney and liver (at protein level). Expressed in peripheral blood leukocytes (PubMed:12473676). Isoform 2 is expressed in fetal tissues, it is only expressed in adult liver and placental tissues. Down-regulated in gastric cancer tissues (at protein level) (PubMed:24395568).
