Studies were conducted in primary cultured rat alveolar epithelial cell monolayers to characterize peptide transporter expression and function. Freshly isolated rat lung alveolar epithelial cells were purified and cultured on permeable support with and without keratinocyte growth factor (KGF). Messenger

Polymeric micelles (PMs) hold promise for improving solubility and oral absorption of poorly soluble drugs. Unfortunately, the oral absorption of PMs is also limited by intestinal epithelium. To improve the oral delivery efficiency of micelles, transporter-mediated micelles could enhance the

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role, relevance, and regional dependence of peptide transporter (PEPT) 1 expression and function in mouse intestines using the model dipeptide glycylsarcosine (GlySar). After isolating specific intestinal segments, in situ single-pass perfusions

The hPepT1-mediated transport properties of a series of 11 synthesized beta- and gamma-peptides have been studied in Caco-2 cells. The results show that several of the compounds interact with the peptide transporter, but only two beta-dipeptides act as substrates and
