- Description
- opt-3 encodes a H+-coupled oligopeptide transporter; when expressed in Xenopus oocytes and mammalian cells, OPT-3 can function in H+-coupled dipeptide transport, but in Xenopus oocytes, OPT-3 appears to function predominantly as a H+ channel; an opt-3::gfp promoter fusion is reportedly expressed in neurons and in the pharynx.
