Biochem/physiol Actions

GLUT1 (Glucose transporter type 1) functions as a receptor for human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV) I and II. It plays a key role in HTLV-envelope mediated infection. GLUT1 is associated with paroxysmal exertion-induced dyskinesia. Glut1 may regulate cerebral microvasculature, proliferation of endothelial cells and the development of junctional complexes of the BBB (blood-brain barrier). It transports glucose across the BBB.

GLUT1 is a membrane protein that regulates the facilitative transport of glucose across the cells. Mutations in the gene encoding GLUT1 have been linked to epilepsy and diabetic nephropathy . Increased expression of GLUT1 has been associated with tumor differentiation in breast and endometrial cancers, whereas decreased GLUT1 function causes GLUT1 deficiency syndrome . Anti-GLUT1, C-Terminal antibody can be used to detect endogenous levels of total GLUT1 protein. The antibody specifically reacts with GLUT1 in mice, rats and humans.
