High affinity sodium-glucose cotransporter ; Solute carrier family 5 member 1 ; SGLT1
Categories
Elisa
Function
Actively transports glucose into cells by Na(+) cotransport with a Na(+) to glucose coupling ratio of 2:1. Efficient substrate transport in mammalian kidney is provided by the concerted action of a low affinity high capacity and a high affinity low capacity Na(+)/glucose cotransporter arranged in series along kidney proximal tubules.
Specificity
Natural and recombinant Pig Sodium/glucose cotransporter 1
