Sodium-glucose transport proteins
GROUP OF TRANSPORT PROTEINS
Na+/glucose symporter; Sodium glucose cotransporter; SGLT; Sodium/glucose transporter; Na-glucose cotransporter; Sodium glucose cotransporter 2; Sodium-glucose cotransporter; Sodium-glucose transport protein; Sodium-glucose transporter; Sodium-glucose transporters
Sodium-dependent glucose cotransporters (or sodium-glucose linked transporter, SGLT) are a family of glucose transporter found in the intestinal mucosa (enterocytes) of the small intestine (SGLT1) and the proximal tubule of the nephron (SGLT2 in PCT and SGLT1 in PST). They contribute to renal glucose reabsorption.
