Summary of protein SGLT1 (sodium glucose transport 1): Human SGLT1 (hSGLT1) is a high-affinity/low-capacity glucose transporter, which can also transport galactose. In the transport mechanism, two Na+ ions first bind to the extracellular side of the transporter and induce a conformational change in the glucose binding site. This results in an increased affinity for glucose. A second conformational change in the transporter follows, bringing the Na+ and glucose binding sites to the inner surface of the membrane. Glucose is then released, followed by the Na+ ions. In the process, hSGLT1 is also able to transport water and urea and may be a major pathway for transport of these across the intestinal brush-border membrane. hSGLT1 is encoded by the SLC5A1 gene and expressed mostly in the intestine, but also in the trachea, kidney, heart, brain, testis, and prostate. The WHO/UNICEF oral rehydration solution (ORS) for the treatment of secretory diarrhea contains salt and glucose. The glu...
Lovely display of data, but it does appear to be missing your summary.
