| Gene Symbol | SLC15A2 |
| Full Name | Solute Carrier Family 15 Member 2 (Peptide Transporter 2) |
| Aliases | Peptide Transporter 2 |
| Chromosome | 3q27 |
| Protein Type | Transporter |
| Function | Unlike its paralog SLC15A1 (PEPT1), which is expressed in intestinal epithelium, SLC15A2 exhibits higher affinity for peptides and is primarily expressed in renal proximal tubules and the brain[@brand |
| Primary Expression | kidney and brain |
| Subcellular Localization | the apical membrane of epithelial cells, where it functions as an uptake transporter for peptide reabsorption[@tamai2004 |
