{"symbol":"SLC15A2","synonyms":["PEPT2"],"name":"solute carrier family 15 (oligopeptide transporter), member 2","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 small intestine (Liu et al, 1995 [PubMed 7756356]).[supplied by OMIM, Feb 2011]","ncbiEntrezGeneId":6565,"ncbiEntrezGeneUrl":"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/6565","proteins":[{"symbol":"S15A2_HUMAN","href":"/api/1.0/protein/S15A2_HUMAN"}],"hgncRootFamilies":[{"name":"Solute carriers (SLC)","href":"/api/1.0/gene_family/Solute+carriers+%28SLC%29"}]}
