Sodium-dependent glucose cotransporters are a family of glucose transporter found in the intestinal mucosa of the small intestine and the proximal tubule of the nephron. They contribute to renal glucose reabsorption. In the kidneys, 100% of the filtered glucose in the glomerulus has to be reabsorbed along the nephron. If the plasma glucose concentration is too high , glucose passes into the urine because SGLT are saturated with the filtered glucose.
