Background: Glut1
GLUT1 (Human glycosylated form theoretical molecular weight 55kDa) functions primarily as a glucose transporter but can transport other substrates including mannose, galactose and glucosamine across the membrane (3). Like other GLUT family members, GLUT1 is broadly expressed, nevertheless it is the predominant glucose transporter expressed in red blood cells and brain endothelial cells (1). SLC2A1 mutations underscore the autosomal dominant disorder GLUT1 deficiency syndrome (GLUTI-DS) which is characterized by low glucose levels in the brain or hypoglycorrhachia due to insufficient glucose transport across the blood brain barrier (2, 4, 5). Phenotypically, GLUT1-DS is characterized by early onset seizures, neurologic developmental delay, microcephaly, and ataxia (4). GLUT1 is highly expressed in the endothelium of cutaneous vascular lesions and serves as a marker for the diagnosis of juvenile or infantile hemangiomas (6).
