Glucose Transporters (GLUTs and SGLTs) - Biochemistry Lesson

The video explains the role of glucose transporters in the body, focusing on two main types: GLUT and SGLT. GLUT transporters are insulin-independent and found throughout the body, while SGLT transporters are sodium-dependent and located in specific areas like the intestine and kidneys. The video details the functions and locations of GLUT1 to GLUT5 and SGLT1 and SGLT2, highlighting their importance in glucose metabolism and retention.

How does Glut 3 differ from other glucose transporters in terms of affinity for glucose?

What is the importance of Glut 4 in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue?

Describe the function of SGLT transporters in glucose absorption.
