GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
SLC2A1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
CSE, DYT18, DYT9, GLUT, GLUT1, HTLVR
Description
Solute carrier family 2 (facilitated glucose transporter), member 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a major glucose transporter in the mammalian blood-brain barrier. The encoded protein is found primarily in the cell membrane and on the cell surface, where it can also function as a receptor for human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV) I and II. Mutations in this gene have been found in a family with paroxysmal exertion-induced dyskinesia. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2013]
