1 Targeted disruption of peptide transporter Pept1 gene in mice significantly reduces dipeptide absorption in intestine. Dipeptides solute carrier family 15 (oligopeptide transporter), member 1 Mus musculus
2 Nevertheless, Pept1 deletion dramatically reduced the intestinal uptake and effective permeability of the model dipeptide GlySar (i.e., by at least 80%), and its oral absorption following gastric gavage (i.e., by about 50%). Dipeptides solute carrier family 15 (oligopeptide transporter), member 1 Mus musculus
3 These novel findings provide strong evidence that PEPT1 has a major role in the in vivo oral absorption of dipeptides. Dipeptides solute carrier family 15 (oligopeptide transporter), member 1 Mus musculus
