Glut1 deficiency syndrome (Glut1DS) is a brain energy failure syndrome caused by impaired
glucose transport across brain tissue barriers. Glucose diffusion across tissue barriers is …

The SLC2 genes code for a family of GLUT proteins that are part of the major facilitator
superfamily (MFS) of membrane transporters. Crystal structures have recently revealed how …

Studies of the geometrical, vibration, absorption and physicochemical properties of 2-deoxy-
D-glucose with and without metal clusters are reported using the DFT method. 2-Deoxy-D …

Glucose plays a crucial role in the mammalian cell metabolism. In the erythrocytes and
endothelial cells of the blood-brain barrier, glucose uptake is mediated by the glucose …

Neoplastic cells displayed altered metabolism with accelerated glycolysis. Therefore, these
cells need a mammoth supply of glucose for which they display an upregulated expression …

The classical methods for determining glucose uptake rates in living cells involve the use of
isotopically labeled 2-deoxy-d-glucose or 3-O-methyl-d-glucose, which enter cells via well …

The structure and function of glucose transporters of the mammalian GLUT family of proteins
has been studied over many decades, and the proteins have fascinated numerous research …

The GLUT is a key regulator of glucose metabolism and is widely expressed on the surface
of most cells of the body. GLUT provides a variety of nutrients for the growth, proliferation …

The antioxidant-and flavonoid-rich contents of red wine and green tea are reported to offer
protection against cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Some studies, however …

Oligomerisation is a key feature of integral membrane transporters with roles in structure,
function and stability. In this review, we cover some very recent advances in our …
