Dipeptidyl peptidase that cleaves off N-terminal dipeptides from proteins having a Pro or Ala residue at position 2. Acts as a key inhibitor of caspase-1-dependent monocyte and macrophage pyroptosis in resting cells by preventing activation of NLRP1 and CARD8. Sequesters the cleaved C-terminal part of NLRP1 and CARD8, which respectively constitute the active part of the NLRP1 and CARD8 inflammasomes, in a ternary complex, thereby preventing their oligomerization and activation. The dipeptidyl peptidase activity is required to suppress NLRP1 and CARD8; however, neither NLRP1 nor CARD8 are bona fide substrates of DPP8, suggesting the existence of substrate(s) required for NLRP1 and CARD8 inhibition.
