About SLC15A2

Cytogenetic location: 3q13.33 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 3:121,894,401-121,944,188 (from NCBI)

This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 212 orthologues and 4 paralogues. Biased expression in prostate (RPKM 19.8), brain (RPKM 10.1) and 13 other tissues.

Summary

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]).[supplied by OMIM, Feb 2011]
