Abstract

The article offers information on sodium glucose transporter (SGLT), where glucose is transported across the plasma membrane by a sodium-glucose carrier complex. It states that synthetic RNA was prepared from complementary DNA, and it was used to screen for transport activity in the oocyte expression assay. It mentions that SGLT are multifunctional proteins, behaving as glucose cotransporters, water and urea channels.
