The SGLT-1 cotranspoer is present in GIT and it transpos :
Glucose enters the cells lining the G.I. tract by the process of secondary active transpo. The transpoer is SGLT-1 (sodium-glucose linked transpoer). SGLT-1 transpos 2 Na+ : 1 glucose into the cells of the digestive tract (Sympo /co-transpo). Defect of SGLT-1 results in 'Glucose-Galactose malabsorption'.
1 Na+ : 1 glucose
2 Na+ : 1 glucose
1 Na+ : 2 glucose
3 Na+: 2 glucose
