| Type: | Family | Name: | Peptide transporter 2 |
| Description: | Peptide transporters (PEPT) play two major roles in animals: absorption of small peptides in the epithelial cells of intestinal tract and kidney tubules and re-uptake of neuropeptide degradation products in the nervous system. Caenorhabditis elegans has at least thee peptide transporters [, ].This entry represents peptide transporter 2 (OPT2, CPTB) from Nematoda. The transport activity of CPTB is H+-dependent. It is highly expressed during embryonic development and its function might be related to nutritional roles []. | Short Name: | Pept-2 |
