Sequence comparison of the sodium-D-glucose cotransport systems in rabbit renal and intestinal epithelia.
Using an isolated 1.2 kbp PCR product as specific probe, the rabbit renal cortex sodium-D-glucose cotransport system has been found and cloned from a renal cortex cDNA library. Two overlapping cDNA clones were found, one with a length of 2.1 kbp and one of 1.1 kbp resulting in a total sequence of 2.2 kbp without the poly(A) tail. Northern blot hybridization indicated a transcript of approx. 2.4 kb in size. Tissue distribution in the rabbit kidney and intestine indicates that this sequence is present in renal cortex, renal medulla and small intestine in different proportions. It is proposed that this clone codes for a member of the sodium-D-glucose cotransporter systems.
