QuickView for SLC15A2 (gene)

Gene Symbol:

SLC15A2 Homo sapiens

Full name:

solute carrier family 15 member 2

Synonyms:

PEPT2, solute carrier family 15 member 2, kidney H(+)/peptide cotransporter, oligopeptide transporter, kidney isoform, peptide transporter 2, solute carrier family 15 (H+/peptide transporter), member 2, solute carrier family 15 (oligopeptide transporter), member 2

Genomic Location:

Chr 3: 123095977-123143148

Description:

The mammalian kidney expresses a proton-coupled peptide transporter that is responsible for the absorption of small peptides, as well as beta-lactam antibiotics and other peptide-like drugs, from the tubular filtrate. This transporter, SLC15A2, belongs to the same gene family as SLC15A1 (MIM 600544), the proton-coupled peptide transporter found in ...

The mammalian kidney expresses a proton-coupled peptide transporter that is responsible for the absorption of small peptides, as well as beta-lactam antibiotics and other peptide-like drugs, from the tubular filtrate. This transporter, SLC15A2, belongs to the same gene family as SLC15A1 (MIM 600544), the proton-coupled peptide transporter found in the small intestine (Liu et al, 1995 [PubMed 7756356]).
