Peptide transporter 1 (PepT 1) also known as solute carrier family 15 member 1 (SLC15A1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by SLC15A1 gene. [5] [6] PepT 1 is a solute carrier for oligopeptides. It functions in renal oligopeptide reabsorption and in the intestines in a proton dependent way, hence acting like a cotransporter. [7]
SLC15A1is localized to the brush border membrane of the intestinal epithelium and mediates the uptake of di- and tripeptides from the lumen into the enterocytes. This protein plays an important role in the uptake and digestion of dietary proteins. This protein also facilitates the absorption of numerous peptidomimetic drugs. [5] [7] Peptide transporter 1 functions in nutrient and drug transport have been studied using intestinal organoids. [8] [9]

Proteins of the Proton-dependent Oligopeptide Transporter (POT) Family are found in animals, plants, yeast, archaea and both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, and are part of the major facilitator superfamily. The transport of peptides into cells is a well-documented biological phenomenon which is accomplished by specific, energy-dependent transporters found in a number of organisms as diverse as bacteria and humans. The proton-dependent oligopeptide transporter (PTR) family of proteins is distinct from the ABC-type peptide transporters and was uncovered by sequence analyses of a number of recently discovered peptide transport proteins. These proteins that seem to be mainly involved in the intake of small peptides with the concomitant uptake of a proton.
