  • Title: Molecular cloning and tissue distribution of rat peptide transporter PEPT2.
    Author: Saito H, Terada T, Okuda M, Sasaki S, Inui K.
    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1996 Apr 26; 1280(2):173-7. PubMed ID: 8639691.
    Abstract:
    A cDNA encoding rat H(+)- coupled peptide transporter PEPT2 was isolated. The cDNA encoded a protein of 729 amino acids with 48% amino acid identity to the rat PEPT1. The mRNA expression of rat PEPT2 was predominant in the kidney. When expressed in Xenopus oocytes, rat PEPT2 stimulated the uptake of bestatin, a dipeptide-like drug.
