The kidneys play a major role in the regulation of glucose levels.
Kidneys filter ~180g of glucose per day from the blood, and this is mostly reabsorbed back into the blood in the proximal tubules.
Typically, glucose is first absorbed within epithelium by a specific transporter protein, Sodium glucose co-transporters (SGLT), in the brush-border membrane and then it is transported out of the cell across the basolateral membranes by a facilitated sugar transporter (GLUTs).
About 3 members of SGLTs (SGLT-1-3) have been cloned and characterized from various species.
Individual member of this family have identical predicted secondary structures with up to 14 transmembrane domains.
SGLT-1-3 genes code for protein of ~659-672 residues (calculated size of ~75kD).
Both N- and C-termini are predicted to be extracellular.
There is ~60-70% homology between SGLT-1-3.
SGLTs transport a-methyl-D-glucoside (a-MDG), a non-metabolized model substrate, in Na-dependent manner.
SGLT-1 does not discriminate a-MDG, glucose, and galactose.
SGLT-2/3 do not transport D-galactose efficiently.
