Abstract excerpt
The human intestinal di-/tripeptide transporter (hPEPT1) is a 12-transmembrane protein that facilitates transport of peptides from the intestine into the circulation. hPEPT1 is also an important target in oral delivery of drugs, but mechanistic and structural data for the protein are limited. In particular, there is little information on the function of the loops of the transporter. In this study, we show that...
