The active glucose transporter moves sodium down its concentration gradient and glucose against its concentration gradient.
The glucose transporters are the transmembrane proteins present on the plasma membrane. They are also called GLUT transporters. There are various GLUT transporters found in different cell types in the body. The transporter transporting sodium along with glucose is known as Sodium-dependent Glucose Transporter (SGLT).
Concentration gradient is the difference of ions across the plasma membrane. One side has higher quantity of ions while the other side has less. When the movement of ion occurs from its area of high concentration to low then it is called along the/down the concentration gradient, whereas the opposite is known as against the concentration gradient.
