Anti-SGLT1 / Sodium/glucose cotransporter 1

0.5 mg/ml in 1X TBS, pH7.3, with 0.5% BSA (US sourced) and 0.02% sodium azide. Sodium/glucose cotransporter 1 / SGLT1 is primarily found in the small intestine and the kidneys, where it facilitates the transportation of glucose and sodium across cell membranes. In the intestines, SGLT1 helps in the absorption of glucose from the food we eat, ensuring that it enters the bloodstream and provides energy to our cells. In the kidneys, SGLT1 is involved in the reabsorption of glucose from the urine back into the bloodstream, preventing its wastage and ensuring that the body retains this valuable energy source. This function becomes particularly important in cases of high blood sugar levels, such as in diabetes, where the kidneys may excrete excess glucose in the urine.
