  • The rate at which the substrates of the symporter can bind onto their respective domains on the protein is at a maximum, meaning that if glucose concentration is augmented above the threshold value, the excess glucose is simply excreted from the body.

  • To begin, glucose is transported from the lumen of the tubule into the epithelial cells through the apical membrane via a Na+-glucose symporter (particularly SGLT-2, which is responsible for most of the glucose reabsorption at the apical membrane).

  • Whether l (2) 08717 symporter activity maintains lysosomal pH and leads to better survival during IH is not known at this time, but previous studies in flies have shown that gene mutations linked with lysosomal trafficking pathways lead to synaptic dysfunction, neuronal degeneration and decrease in lifespan in adults
