Q

what are the steps of glucose transport from gut lumen through intestinal epithelium to blood?

A
  1. Na K ATPase creates Na gradient so that the cytosol is Na depleted
  2. Na glucose transporter allows Na to flow with gradient and drives glucose uptake from gut lumen against its gradient
  3. glucose flows with gradient into blood through GLUT2
  4. K channel allows K to flow with gradient to leave the cell
