Abstract excerpt
The disulfide bonds of the Na(+)/glucose cotransporter (SGLT1) are believed to participate in the binding of the transport inhibitor phlorizin. Here, we investigated the role of the [560-608] disulfide bond on the phlorizin-binding function of the C-terminal loop 13 of SGLT1 using 3-iodoacetamidophlorizin (3-IAP) as a probe. The reactivity of 3-IAP to the fully reduced loop 13 was competitively inhibited by...
