Glut1/SLC2A1 is crucial for the development of the blood‐brain barrier in vivo
29 Oct 2010
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The overall permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is regulated by specialized cerebral endothelial cells and their junctional complexes, consisting of adherens junctions (AJs) and tight junctions (TJs). Among the members of the glucose transporters (Glut), Glut1 is a unique molecule expressed in the cerebral endothelial cells. Glut1 and the junctional proteins are concomitantly downregulated in...
