SLC5A1, NAGT, SGLT1, Sodium/glucose cotransporter 1, Na(+)/glucose cotransporter 1, High affinity sodium-glucose cotransporter, Solute carrier family 5 member 1
Actively transports glucose into cells by Na+ cotransport with a Na+ to glucose coupling ratio of 2:1. Efficient substrate transport in mammalian kidney is provided by the concerted action of a low affinity high capacity and a high affinity low capacity Na+/glucose cotransporter arranged in series along kidney proximal tubules.
