GLUT1 Cancer Research Results

GLUT1, Glucose Transporter 1: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type: protein
Also known as SLC2A1
An important hallmark in cancer cells is the increase in glucose uptake. GLUT1 is an important target in cancer treatment because cancer cells upregulate GLUT1, a membrane protein that facilitates the basal uptake of glucose in most cell types, to ensure the flux of sugar into metabolic pathways.
GLUT1 is a member of the facilitated glucose transporter family and is widely expressed in various tissues, including red blood cells, brain, and cancer cells.
GLUT1 has been shown to be overexpressed in many types of tumors, including breast, lung, and colon cancer. This overexpression may contribute to the development and progression of cancer by promoting glucose uptake and energy production in cancer cells.
GLUT1 is a protein that facilitates the transport of glucose across cell membranes. GLUT1 plays a role in the regulation of glucose metabolism in diabetes.
GLUT1 plays a role in the regulation of glucose metabolism in diabetes.
GLUT1 is also known to be involved in the Warburg effect.
GLUTs are expressed 10–12-fold higher in cancer cells than in healthy tissues, especially in highly proliferative and malignant tumors.

Downregulators:
-Resveratrol: associated with reduced GLUT1 expression.
-Curcumin: downregulate GLUT1 in various cancer cell lines
-Quercetin: downregulating the expression and function of GLUT1.
-EGCG: suppress GLUT1 expression
-Berberine: linked to decreased expression or activity of GLUT1.

Ischemic stroke is also called brain ischemia and cerebral ischemia. Ischemia is the medical term for "lack of blood supply."
