Abstract excerpt
The human proton-dependent dipeptide transporter (PEPT1, gene SLC15A1) is important for intestinal absorption of di- and tripeptides and a variety of peptidomimetic compounds. Using a DNA polymorphism discovery panel of 44 ethnically diverse individuals, nine nonsynonymous and four synonymous coding-region single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified in PEPT1. HeLa cells were transiently transfected...
