Abstract excerpt
Sodium-glucose cotransporters (SGLTs) are responsible for sugar absorption in small intestine and renal tubule epithelial cells. These proteins have attracted clinical attention as a cause of malabsorption and as a target for diabetes drugs. Each SGLT isoform has strict selectivity for its monosaccharide substrate. Few studies have attempted to elucidate the structural basis of sugar selectivity by allowing...
