    • Functional characterization of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) PepT2 transporters 

      Vacca, Francesca; Gomes, Ana S.; Murashita, Koji; Cinquetti, Raffella; Roseti, Cristina; Barca, Amilcare; Rønnestad, Ivar; Verri, Tiziano; Bossi, Elena (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The high-affinity/low-capacity system Slc15a2 (PepT2) is responsible for the reuptake of di/tripeptides from the renal proximal tubule, but it also operates in many other tissues and organs. Information regarding PepT2 in ...

    • Identification and characterization of the Atlantic salmon peptide transporter 1a 

      Gomes, Ana S.; Vacca, Francesca; Cinquetti, Raffaella; Murashita, Koji; Barca, Amilcare; Bossi, Elena; Rønnestad, Ivar; Verri, Tiziano (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Peptide transporter 1 (PepT1) mediates the uptake of dietary di-/tripeptides in vertebrates. However, in teleost fish gut, more than one PepT1-type transporter might operate, because of teleost-specific whole gen(om)e ...

    • The teleost fish PepT1-type peptide transporters and their relationships with neutral and charged substrates 

      Vacca, Francesca; Gomes, Ana S.; De Gennaro, Marco; Rønnestad, Ivar; Bossi, Elena; Verri, Tiziano (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      In teleosts, two PepT1-type (Slc15a1) transporters, i.e., PepT1a and PepT1b, are expressed at the intestinal level. They translocate charged di/tripeptides with different efficiency, which depends on the position of the ...
