Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** 1. **Transport Mechanism:** SLC15A1 is a proton-dependent oligopeptide secondary active transmembrane transporter, which implies that it utilizes the energy from proton gradients to facilitate the transport of peptides and amino acids across the plasma membrane. 2. **Cellular Expression:** SLC15A1 is expressed in a wide range of tissues, including enterocytes of the colon, cardiac endothelial cells, glandular epithelial cells, and immature innate lymphoid cells, highlighting its importance in various physiological processes. 3. **Protein Structure:** The SLC15A1 protein is a transmembrane protein consisting of multiple transmembrane domains, which are essential for its function in transporting peptides and amino acids. **Pathways and Functions:** SLC15A1 plays a critical role in various cellular processes, including: 1. **Dipeptide and Tripeptide Transport:** SLC15A1 mediates the transport of dipeptides and tripeptides across the plasma membrane, which is essential for the absorption of amino acids and peptides in the gut. 2. **Amino Acid Uptake:** SLC15A1 is involved in the uptake of amino acids, particularly in the enterocytes of the colon, where it plays a crucial role in the absorption of dietary amino acids. 3. **Proton-Dependent Transport:** SLC15A1 utilizes the energy from proton gradients to facilitate the transport of peptides and amino acids across the plasma membrane, highlighting its importance in maintaining proton homeostasis. 4. **GABAergic Signaling:** SLC15A1 is also expressed in GABAergic interneurons of the cerebral cortex, where it may play a role in modulating GABAergic signaling. **Clinical Significance:** The dysregulation of SLC15A1 has been implicated in various human diseases, including: 1. **Gastrointestinal Disorders:** Alterations in SLC15A1 expression and function have been linked to gastrointestinal disorders, such as inflammatory bowel disease and celiac disease. 2. **Neurological Disorders:** SLC15A1 has been implicated in neurological disorders, including epilepsy and autism spectrum disorder, where it may play a role in modulating GABAergic signaling. 3. **Cancer:** SLC15A1 has been found to be overexpressed in certain types of cancer, including colorectal cancer, where it may contribute to tumorigenesis and metastasis. In conclusion, SLC15A1 is a vital gene involved in the transport of peptides and amino acids across cell membranes, playing a critical role in various physiological processes. Its dysregulation has been implicated in various human diseases, highlighting the need for further research into the mechanisms underlying SLC15A1 function and its potential therapeutic applications.
