The '''sodium/glucose cotransporter 2''' (SGLT2) is a [[protein]] that in humans is encoded by the {{gene|SLC5A2}} (solute carrier family 5 (sodium/glucose cotransporter)) [[gene]].

== Function ==
SGLT2 is a member of the [[sodium-glucose transport proteins|sodium glucose cotransporter family]], which are sodium-dependent [[glucose]] transport proteins. SGLT2 is the major cotransporter involved in glucose [[reabsorption]] in the kidney.  SGLT2 is located in the early [[proximal tubule]], and is responsible for reabsorption of 80-90% of the glucose filtered by the kidney [[Glomerulus (kidney)|glomerulus]]. Most of the remaining glucose absorption is by [[sodium/glucose cotransporter 1]] (SGLT1) in more distal sections of the proximal tubule.

== SGLT2 inhibitors for diabetes ==
{{Main|SGLT2 inhibitor}}
[[SGLT2 inhibitor]]s are also called gliflozins or flozins. They lead to a reduction in blood glucose levels, and therefore have potential use in the treatment of [[type 2 diabetes]]. Gliflozins enhance glycemic control as well as reduce [[Human body weight|body weight]] and systolic and diastolic [[blood pressure]]. The gliflozins canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, and empagliflozin may lead to euglycemic [[ketoacidosis]]. Other side effects of gliflozins include increased risk of Fournier gangrene

== Clinical significance ==

Mutations in this gene are also associated with [[renal glycosuria]].
