The human SLC5A11 gene encodes a high affinity myo-inositol transporter (SMIT2, SGLT6) (Ostlund RE et al, 1996; Roll P et al, 2002). It can transport myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol, together with two Na+ ions. It was thought SGLT6 could transport glucose but there is no evidence for this so far (Lin X et al, 2009).
