Abstract excerpt
PEPT2 is a high-affinity H+/dipeptide transporter expressed in kidney, brain, lung, and mammary gland. The physiological role of PEPT2 in kidney is to reabsorb small peptides generated by luminal peptidases. PEPT2 is also a transporter for peptide-like drugs such as penicillins and cephalosporins. We have conducted a haplotype analysis of 27 single nucleotide polymorphisms located in or near exons of the human...
