Abstract excerpt
The proton-coupled oligopeptide transporter (PEPT1) has been shown to mediate mucosal cell transport of di- and tripeptide, and some peptidomimetic drugs. In this study, we determined the correlation between PEPT1 protein expression and the permeability of cephalexin, a substrate of PEPT1, in human PEPT1 (hPEPT1)-overexpressed Caco-2 cells (Caco-2/hPEPT1 cells) and rat jejunum. Caco-2/hPEPT1 cells with various...
