Sodium-dependent glucose #cotransporters (or sodium-glucose #linked transporter, SGLT) are a family of #glucoseTransporter found in the intestinal #mucosa (#enterocytes) of the #smallIntestine (SGLT1) and the #proximalTubule of the #nephron (#SGLT2 in #PCT and SGLT1 in #PST). They contribute to #renalGlucoseReabsorption. In the kidneys, 100% of the filtered glucose in the #glomerulus has to be reabsorbed along the nephron (98% in PCT, via SGLT2).
