Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables dipeptide transmembrane transporter activity and high-affinity oligopeptide transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in several processes, including dipeptide import across plasma membrane; peptidoglycan transport; and regulation of nucleotide-binding activity domain, leucine rich repeat containing receptor signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within oligopeptide transport. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; nose; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human SLC15A2 (solute carrier family 15 member 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant mice have impairments of dipeptide transportion, however, show no gross defects.
