Function
Electrogenic Na(+)-coupled sugar symporter that actively transports D-glucose at the plasma membrane, with a Na(+) to sugar coupling ratio of 1:1 (PubMed:20980548, PubMed:28592437, PubMed:34880493, PubMed:37217492, PubMed:38057552). Transporter activity is driven by a transmembrane Na(+) electrochemical gradient set by the Na(+)/K(+) pump (PubMed:20980548, PubMed:28592437, PubMed:34880493). Unlike SLC5A1/SGLT1, requires the auxiliary protein PDZK1IP1/MAP17 for full transporter activity (PubMed:37217492). Has a primary role in D-glucose reabsorption from glomerular filtrate across the brush border of the early proximal tubules of the kidney (By similarity).
Alternative names

- Activity summary
SGLT2 also known as sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 is a protein responsible for reabsorbing glucose in the renal proximal convoluted tubule. It carries glucose along with sodium ions across cell membranes enabling glucose reabsorption from the glomerular filtrate back into the bloodstream a process essential for the maintenance of glucose homeostasis. This protein has a molecular weight of approximately 75 kDa. SGLT2 is mostly expressed in the renal epithelial cells located within the kidney's proximal tubule.
- Biological function summary
Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 plays a central role in renal glucose reabsorption. It operates as part of a vital mechanism in the kidney where it engages in the active transport of glucose against its concentration gradient facilitated by the sodium gradient produced by the Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase pump. This transporter ensures minimal loss of glucose in urine maintaining energy balance and blood glucose levels.
- Pathways
SGLT2 is involved in glucose and sodium transport pathways critical for glycolytic and gluconeogenic processes. These pathways are key for energy production and glucose homeostasis. It works closely with proteins like GLUT2 which operates in the basolateral membrane of renal tubular cells to further transfer reabsorbed glucose into the bloodstream. Together these proteins form a tightly regulated network that maintains normal blood glucose levels.
- Associated diseases and disorders
SGLT2 has a significant impact on diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Inhibitors of SGLT2 are effective treatments for type 2 diabetes by preventing glucose reabsorption leading to increased glucose excretion through urine and improved glycemic control. The glucose-lowering effect also contributes to reducing risks associated with cardiovascular diseases. In this context SGLT2 interacts with protein targets like insulin where its modulation offers therapeutic efficacy in managing hyperglycemia.
