The SGLT family, or Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter family, consists of proteins that play a crucial role in glucose transport across cell membranes. These transporters help reabsorb glucose in the kidneys and facilitate its uptake in various tissues, ensuring that the body maintains proper energy levels. There are several members of the SGLT family, including SGLT1 and SGLT2. SGLT1 primarily functions in the intestines, aiding in glucose absorption from food, while SGLT2 is mainly found in the kidneys, where it reabsorbs glucose from urine. This family of transporters is essential for glucose homeostasis in the body.
