Development and Characterization of a Novel Mouse Line Humanized for the Intestinal Peptide Transporter PEPT1
22 Aug 2014
Abstract excerpt
The proton-coupled oligopeptide transporter PEPT1 (SLC15A1) is abundantly expressed in the small intestine, but not colon, of mammals and found to mediate the uptake of di/tripeptides and peptide-like drugs from the intestinal lumen. However, species differences have been observed in both the expression (and localization) of PEPT1 and its substrate affinity. With this in mind, the objectives of this study were to...
