Abstract excerpt
We evaluated the functional consequences of genetic variations in human H(+)/peptide cotransporter 2 (hPEPT2, SLC15A2) resulting in the amino acid changes Arg57His (R57H) and Pro409Ser (P409S). The transport activity of variant R57H was completely abolished, whereas that of variant P409S was comparable with that of wild-type hPEPT2 at pH 5.0-8.0. R57H variant protein was detected in the crude membranes of...
