Primary Identifier | MGI:1861376 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 56643 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables dipeptide transmembrane transporter activity; peptide:proton symporter activity; and proton-dependent oligopeptide secondary active transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in dipeptide import across plasma membrane. Acts upstream of or within oligopeptide transport. Located in brush border and membrane. Orthologous to human SLC15A1 (solute carrier family 15 member 1). PHENOTYPE: Peptide uptake in the intestine is substantially reduced in mice homozygous for a null mutation of this gene.
