Function
Sodium/glucose cotransporter (SGLT) is responsible for glucose absorption across membranes. SGLT1 and SGLT2 which are expressed in different tissues, have similar active sites but differ in their non-active site structures. SGLT1 is responsible of glucose absorption in the small intestine and SGLT2 in kidney[3].SGLT2 is responsible of renal glucose absorption [4].
Disease
Relevance
SGLT2 inhibitors aid in hypertension, acute cardiac failure, bradycardia, acute pulmonary oedema, asthma, bronchitis and COPD[5]..
