The transpo protein responsible for entry of glucose into the intestinal enterocyte is called:
Correct Answer: SGLT1
Description: The transpo protein responsible for the sodium-dependent glucose transpo in the small intestine is termed the SGLT1. The absorption of glucose occurs through the coordinated action of transpo proteins located in the brush border and basolateral membranes of the enterocyte. Glucose uptake into the enterocyte occurs primarily the sodium-dependent SGLT1 secondary active trans po mechanism. Exit from the enterocyte occurs by facilitated diffusion and is mediated by the membrane transpoer, Glut-2. Glut-5 is the membrane transpoer located on the apical poion of the enterocyte responsible for the facilitated entry of fructose into the cell.
