Abstract excerpt
The peptide transporter PEPT2 mediates the cellular uptake of di- and tripeptides and selected drugs by proton-substrate cotransport across the plasma membrane. PEPT2 was functionally identified initially in the apical membrane of renal tubular cells but was later shown to be expressed in other tissues also. To investigate the physiological importance of PEPT2 and for a detailed analysis of the protein expression...
