Abstract excerpt
The proton-coupled uptake of di- and tri-peptides is the major route of dietary nitrogen absorption in the intestine and of reabsorption of filtered protein in the kidney. In addition, the transporters involved, PepT1 (SLC15a1) and PepT2 (SLC15a2), are responsible for the uptake and tissue distribution of a wide range of pharmaceutically important compounds, including beta-lactam antibiotics,...
