Abstract excerpt
This study characterizes the expression and function of the peptide transporter hPepT2 (SLC15A2) in differentiated primary cultures of human upper airway lung epithelia obtained from six human donors. Genotype analysis of a SNP in exon 15 of hPepT2 genotypes in six donors revealed an expected distribution of the two main variants present at similar frequency (two AA homozygotes, two BB homozygotes, and two AB...
