Role of kidneys in glucose homeostasis
There are at least four members of SLC-5 gene family, which are secondary active glucose transporters. The sodium glucose transporters proteins SGLT-1 and SGLT-2 are the two premier members of the family. These two members are found in the kidneys, among other transporters, and are the main co-transporters there related to the blood sugar. They play a role in renal glucose reabsorption and in intestinal glucose absorption.
