| Function | Proton-coupled amino-acid transporter that transports oligopeptides of 2 to 4 amino acids with a preference for dipeptides. Transports neutral and anionic dipeptides with a proton to peptide stoichiometry of 2:1 or 3:1. In kidney, involved in the absorption of circulating di- and tripeptides from the glomerular filtrate. Can also transport beta-lactam antibiotics, such as the aminocephalosporin cefadroxil, and other antiviral and anticancer drugs. Transports the dipeptide-like aminopeptidase inhibitor bestatin. Also able to transport carnosine. Involved in innate immunity by promoting the detection of microbial pathogens by NOD-like receptors (NLRs). Mediates transport of bacterial peptidoglycans across the plasma membrane or, in macrophages, the phagosome membrane: catalyzes the transport of certain bacterial peptidoglycans, such as muramyl dipeptide (MDP), the NOD2 ligand. |
