Figures & data
Notes: SGLT2 located on the luminal membrane of the S1 segment of the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron actively transports glucose from the lumen into the cell against a concentration gradient. The glucose is then transported out through the basolateral side via GLUT2. Na+-K+ ATPase actively excretes sodium from the cell in exchange for potassium.
