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] Expression Biased expression in prostate (RPKM 19.8), brain (RPKM 10.1) and 13 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
