Also known as PEPT1HPECT1HPEPT1
Summary
SLC15A1 (solute carrier family 15 member 1, HGNC:10920) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 13q32.2-q32.3, encoding Solute carrier family 15 member 1 (P46059). Electrogenic proton-coupled amino-acid transporter that transports oligopeptides of 2 to 4 amino acids with a preference for dipeptides.
This gene encodes an intestinal hydrogen peptide cotransporter that is a member of the solute carrier family 15. The encoded protein is localized to the brush border membrane of the intestinal epithelium and mediates the uptake of di- and tripeptides from the lumen into the enterocytes. This protein plays an important role in the uptake and digestion of dietary proteins. This protein also facilitates the absorption of numerous peptidomimetic drugs.
