    [2] [3] SGLT1, encoded by the SLC5A1 gene, is primarily expressed in the late proximal tubule (S3 segment) and accounts for the remaining 3% of glucose reabsorption. [2] [3] In addition to SGLT1 and SGLT2, there are 10 other members in the human protein family SLC5A. [4] SLC5A4, also known as SGLT3, is a member of the sodium-glucose ...

    SGLT2 is a member of the sodium glucose cotransporter family, which are sodium-dependent glucose transport proteins. SGLT2 is the major cotransporter involved in glucose reabsorption in the kidney. [6] SGLT2 is located in the early proximal tubule, and is responsible for reabsorption of 80-90% of the glucose filtered by the kidney glomerulus. [7]

    Blocking SGLT-2 reduces blood glucose by blocking glucose reabsorption in the kidney and thereby excreting glucose (i.e., blood sugar) via the urine. [43] [44] [45] Of all the SGLT-2 Inhibitors currently available, empagliflozin has the highest degree of selectivity for SGLT-2 over SGLT-1, SGLT-4, SGLT-5 and SGLT-6. [46]
