Exon 7 may be spliced out deleting 26 aa between TMHs 5-6; internal splice in exon 10 means either 36 or 52 aa between TMHs 8-9; and an internal splice in exon 12 adds either 12 or 37 aa between TMHs 11-12.

* C: Cotransporter;
F: uniporter. Function based on results obtained with heterologous expression systems.

** Provisional SGLT4 exons identified by mining the Celera databases.

T: Tissue distribution of SGLT1-6 was determined by RNAase protection assays using gene specific probes (Bing, M. Turk, E, Martin MG & Wright, EM. In preparation). Also includes data from the original cloning papers and GeneCard ( EST, and/or DNA array).

G: Gene defect.


S: Potential alternative splice sites (56, 62 and Turk, unpublished).
