Glucose Co-transporters Scientific Journals

"The dietary glucose cannot cross easily the lipid intestinal bilayer of enterocyte. So, specific transporters are required for glucose intestinal absorption. The Na+ /glucose co-transporter (SGLT1) at the enterocyte apical membrane transports glucose into the cell against its concentration gradient. Also, a facilitative Glucose Transporter (GLUT2), transports sugars across the basolateral membrane to the blood. Some studies show evidences that GLUT2 can also be recruited to the Brush-Border Membrane (BBM) in the presence of high glucose concentration in the lumen and can participate in the intestine glucose absorption process dependent glucose transport across of BBM. Also, phloretin is the aglycone of phlorizin and an inhibitor of intestinal glucose transport mediated by GLUT2 OMICS Group International is one of the leading Open Access Publishers which is publishing 700+ peer-reviewed journals with the support of 50,000+ editorial board members as editorial team and aimed to disseminate the scholarly knowledge to the scientific society. OMICS Group also organizing 3000+ International Scientific Conferences and events yearly all over the world with the support of 1000+ Scientific associations worldwide.
