Butyrate transcriptionally enhances peptide transporter PepT1 expression and activity.
<h4>Background</h4>PepT1, an intestinal epithelial apical di/tripeptide transporter, is normally expressed in the small intestine and induced in colon during chronic inflammation. This study aimed at investigating PepT1 regulation by butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid produced by commens...
