| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A lysosome-resident, amino acid/oligopeptide transporter, SLC15A4, plays a critical role of the inflammatory response and SLC15A4 is possible therapeutic target in pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. One of the SLC15 family members, SLC15A3 has highly conserved regions of SLC15A4, but its molecular functions have not been elucidated. SLC15A3 deficient mice were developed, but they showed no significant phenotypes such as cell proliferation and differentiation in the thymus, spleen, and lymph node. Several disease models are developed using SLC15A3 deficient mice, and they will be continuously analyzed to find a novel role of lysosomal transporter.
