Knock-out of dipeptidase CN2 in human proximal tubular cells disrupts dipeptide and amino acid homeostasis and para- and transcellular solute transport

CONCLUSION: CN2 function has a major impact on intracellular amino acid and dipeptide metabolism and is essential for key metabolic and regulatory functions of proximal tubular cells. These findings deserve in vivo analysis of the relevance of CN2 for nephron function and regulation of body …
