Brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMV) enriched with alkaline phosphatase (8.1-fold) and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (11.5-fold) were prepared from the rainbow trout kidney. D-[3H]glucose uptake was stimulated by inward Na gradients but not by K, choline, Li, N-methyl-D-glucamine, or mannitol gradients. Na-dependent glucose uptake displayed overshoot in voltage-polarized vesicles (VPV; negative inside) but not in short-circuited vesicles (SCV). Recognition of carbons 2 and 3 of the glucopyranose ring was essential for glucose uptake. Phlorizin inhibited Na-dependent D-glucose uptake with an inhibition constant of 11.4 microM. The Michaelis-Menten constant of glucose was 0.58 mM in VPV and increased to 1.49 mM in SCV, whereas that for sodium was 193 mM in VPV and similar in SCV. Maximum velocity of Na was reduced in SCV. The Hill coefficient was 1 for both Na and glucose in VPV and SCV. Our studies indicate a single Na-D-glucose cotransporter that transports Na and glucose with a 1:1 stoichiometry and voltage-dependent kinetics. The transporter shares functional properties with both mammalian transporters SGLT1 and SGLT2.
