Proline:Na+ symporter, PutP (Jung et al., 2012).  Extracellular loop 4 (eL4) controls periplasmic entry of substrate to the binding site (Raba et al. 2014).  Interactions between the tip of eL4 and the peptide backbone at the end of TMS 10 participate in coordinating conformational alterations underlying the alternating access mechanism of transport (Bracher et al. 2016).  TMS 6 plays a central role in substrate (both Na+ and proline) binding and release on the inner side of the membrane, and functionally relevant amino acids have been identified (Bracher et al. 2016).

Glucose or galactose:Na+ symporter, SGLT1 (galactose > glucose > fucose). Cotransports water against an osmotic gradient (Naftalin, 2008). SGLT1 harbors a water channel (Barta et al. 2022). TMS IV of the high-affinity sodium-glucose cotransporter participates in sugar binding (Liu et al., 2008) and also participates in the uptake of resveratrol, an anti atherosclerosis polyphenol (Chen et al. 2013).  hSGLT1 is expressed as a disulfide bridged homodimer via C355; a portion of the intracellular 12-13 loop is re-entrant and readily accessible from the extracellular milieu (Sasseville et al. 2016). Possibly, the extracellular loop between TMS 12 and TMS 13 participates in the sugar transport of SGLT1 (Nagata and Hata 2006). SGLT1 also transports water efficiently. Calculation of the unitary water channel permeability, pf, yielded similar values for cell and proteoliposome experiments. The absence of glucose, Na+, a membrane potential in vesicles, or the directionality of water flow did not grossly altered the pf. Such a weak dependence on protein conformation indicates that a water-impermeable occluded state (glucose and Na+ in their binding pockets) lasts for only a minor fraction of the transport cycle or, alternatively, that occlusion of the substrate does not render the transporter water-impermeable (Erokhova et al. 2016). the ortholog from grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) of 465 aas and 12 putative TMSs is 80% identical and is found in the anterior and mid intestine (Liang et al. 2020). Sodium-dependent glucose transporter 1 and glucose transporter 2 mediate intestinal transport of quercetrin (Li et al. 2020). Cardiac SGLT1 does not contribute appreciably to overall glucose uptake (Ferté et al. 2021). Collective domain motion facilitates water transport in SGLT1 (Sever and Merzel 2023).  Ferulic acid-grafted chitosan (FA-g-CS) stimulates the transmembrane transport of anthocyanins by SGLT1 and GLUT2 (Ma et al. 2022). SLC5A1 and SLC5A3 are involved in glioblastoma cell migration, thereby complementing the migration-associated transportome, suggesting that SLC inhibition may be a promising approach for treatment (Brosch et al. 2022). SGLT1 mediates the absorption of water, yet the mechanism and the effect of inhibitors is not well defined.  Sever and Merzel 2023 determined the influence of the energetic and dynamic properties of SGLT1 as they are influenced by selected sugar uptake inhibitors on water permeation. variants of Slc5A1 give rise to Congenital Glucose-Galactose Malabsorption (Hoşnut et al. 2023). Soluble β-glucan fibers modulate blood glucose regulation and intestinal permeability (Marcobal et al. 2024). A small library of glycoderivative putative ligands of SGLT1 has been prepared, and a preliminary biological evaluation has been conducted (D'Orazio and La Ferla 2024).

Sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (Na+/glucose cotransporter 2; SGLT2) of 672 aas and 14 TMSs. It is a low affinity sodium-glucose cotransporter). It shows increased expression in human diabetic nephropathy. Inhibition causes decreased renal lipid accumulation, inflamation and disease symptoms (Wang et al. 2017). It has a Na+ to glucose coupling ratio of 1:1 (Brown et al. 2019). Efficient substrate transport in the mammalian kidney is provided by the concerted action of a low affinity high capacity and a high affinity low capacity Na+/glucose cotransporter arranged in series along kidney proximal tubules. Inhibitors are antidiabetic agents (Li 2019; Singh and Singh 2020). They are also useful as theraputic agents of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and chronic kidney disease (Kanbay et al. 2021). Marein, an active component of the Coreopsis tinctoria Nutt plant, ameliorates diabetic nephropathy by inhibiting renal sodium glucose transporter 2 and activating the AMPK signaling pathway (Guo et al. 2020). NHE-3 (TC# 2.A.53.2.18) was markedly downregulated, while the Na+-HCO3--cotransporter (NBC-1; TC# 2.A.31.2.12) and SGLT2 were upregulated after kidney transplantation (Velic et al. 2004). Pharmacological inhibition of hSGLT2 by oral small-molecule inhibitors, such as empagliflozin, leads to enhanced excretion of glucose and is widely used in the clinic to manage blood glucose levels for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Niu et al. 2022 determined the cryoEM structure of the hSGLT2-MAP17 complex in the empagliflozin-bound state to a resolution of 2.95 Å. MAP17 interacts with transmembrane helix 13 of hSGLT2. Empagliflozin occupies both the sugar-substrate-binding site and the external vestibule to lock hSGLT2 in an outward-open conformation, thus inhibiting the transport cycle (Niu et al. 2022 ). There is no upregulation regarding host factors potentially promoting SARS-CoV-2 virus entry into host cells when the SGLT2-blocker empagliflozin, telmisartan and the DPP4-inhibitor blocker, linagliptin, are used (Xiong et al. 2022).  The effectiveness of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors on cardiorenal outcomes has been described (Niu et al. 2022 ). There is no upregulation regarding host factors potentially promoting SARS-CoV-2 virus entry into host cells when the SGLT2-blocker empagliflozin, telmisartan and the DPP4-inhibitor blocker, linagliptin, are used (Xiong et al. 2022).  The effectiveness of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors on cardiorenal outcomes has been described (Ali et al. 2024).

Renal Na+:D-glucose symporter type 1 (Sglt1; Slc5a1) of 662 aas and 14 TMSs.  The distribution in renal tissues has been reported (Althoff et al. 2007). Loop 13, which is associated with phlorizin binding, is variable, as is the interaction with this inhibitor in various species. Immunoreaction was observed in the proximal tubular segments PIa and PIIa, the early distal tubule, and the collecting tubule. Thus, Leucoraja, in contrast to the mammalian kidney, employs only SGLT1 to reabsorb D-glucose in the early, as well as in the late segments of the proximal tubule and probably also in the late distal tubule. It differs from the kidney of the close relative, Squalus acanthias, which uses SGLT2 in more distal proximal tubular segments (Althoff et al. 2007). The ortholog in Squalus acanthias (Spiny dogfish), is 88% identical and has been characterized (Althoff et al. 2006).

Sodium iodide symporter, NIS (I-:Na+ = 1:2). It also transports other monovalent anions including: ClO3-, SCN-, SeCN-, NO3-, Br-, BF4-, IO4- and BrO3-. It mediates electroneutral active transport of the environmental pollutant perchlorate (Dohan et al., 2007) and inhibits I- uptake. The stoichometry of ClO4-:Na+ uptake is 1 to 1 as perchlorate binds both to the anion and one of the two cation binding sites (Llorente-Esteban et al. 2020). Five beta-OH group-containing residues (Thr-351, Ser-353, Thr-354, Ser-356, and Thr-357) and Asn-360, all of which putatively face the same side of the helix in TMS IX, plus Asp-369, located in the membrane/cytosol interface, play key roles in NIS function and seem to be involved in Na+ binding/translocation (De la Vieja et al. 2007). Thr-354 is essential for iodide uptake (Tatsumi et al., 2010). The G39R mutant (congenital) is inactive. G93 is a pivot for the inwardly to outwardly conformational change (Paroder-Belenitsky et al., 2011).  The protein is present as a dimer (Huc-Brandt et al. 2011).  Functionally equivalent systems have been reviewed (Darrouzet et al. 2014). Mutations cause congenital I- transport defects (ITD; Li et al. 2013).  The physiological, medical and mechanistic features of NIS have been reviewed (Portulano et al. 2014). Mutations in TMS IX can give rise to hypothyroidism (Watanabe et al. 2018). NIS may also have a pump-independent, protumorigenic role in thyroid cancer via its cross-talk with PTEN signaling (Feng et al. 2018). Mutations in its gene gives rise to fetal goitrous hypothyroidism (Stoupa et al. 2020). Iodide transport across thyrocytes constitutes a critical step for thyroid hormone biosynthesis, mediated mainly by the basolateral NIS and the apical anion exchanger pendrin (PDS; SLC26A4; TC# 2.A.53.2.17) (Eleftheriadou et al. 2020). Autoimmunity against NIS for thyroid disease has been documented (Eleftheriadou et al. 2020). The iodide transport defect-causing Y348D mutation in the Na+/I- symporter (NIS) renders the protein intrinsically inactive and impairs its targeting to the plasma membrane (Reyna-Neyra et al. 2021). Mutations in NIS can give rise to congenital hypothyroidism (Zhang et al. 2021). Iodide transport defect is a cause of dyshormonogenic congenital hypothyroidism due to homozygous or compound heterozygous pathogenic variants in the SLC5A5 gene, causing deficient iodide accumulation in thyroid follicular cells (Martín and Nicola 2021). NIS mediates active iodide accumulation in the thyroid follicular cell. Autosomal recessive iodide transport defect (ITD)-causing loss-of-function NIS variants lead to dyshormonogenic congenital hypothyroidism (DCH) due to deficient iodide accumulation for thyroid hormonogenesis (Bernal Barquero et al. 2022). An intramolecular interaction between R130 and D369 is required for NIS maturation and plasma membrane expression (Bernal Barquero et al. 2022). An Inverse agonist of estrogen-related receptor gamma, GSK5182, enhances Na+/I- symporter function in radioiodine-refractory papillary thyroid cancer cells (Singh et al. 2023). The identification of sodium/iodide symporter metastable intermediates provides insights into conformational transition between principal thermodynamic states (Chakrabarti et al. 2023).  Advanced differentiated thyroid cancer that is resistant to radioactive iodine therapy may become responsive with a unique treatment combination of chloroquine and vorinostat. This treatment was demonstrated in cellular and animal models of thyroid cancer to inhibit endocytosis of the plasma membrane bound iodine transporter, NIS, and restore iodine uptake (Lechner and Brent 2024).  CMTM 6 promotes the development of thyroid cancer by inhibiting NIS activity by activating the MAPK signaling pathway (Chen et al. 2024).

Pyroglutamate (5-oxoproline) is also transported in a Na+- coupled mechanism (Miyauchi et al., 2010). SMCT1 and SMCT2 may transport monocarboxylate drugs (e.g. nicotinate and its derivatives) across the intestinal brush boarder membrane (Gopal et al., 2007; Frank et al. 2008). Wilson et al., 2009 have proposed mechanistic details. SMCT1 can transport urate in a testosterone regulated process (Hosoyamada et al., 2010).  It's phsiological functions have been reviewed (Halestrap 2013).

Holling et al. 2022 expanded the phenotypic spectrum associated with biallelic SLC5A6 variants affecting function by reporting five individuals from three families with motor neuropathies. Missense variants p.(Tyr162Cys) and p.(Ser429Gly) did not affect plasma membrane localization of the ectopically expressed multivitamin transporter, suggesting reduced function, such as lower catalytic activity (Holling et al. 2022).

Urea transporter, UreA of 693 aas and ~17 TMSs.  A three-dimensional model of UreA which, combined with mutagenesis studies, led to the identification of residues important for binding, recognition and translocation of urea, and in the sorting of UreA to the membrane.
