Abstract excerpt
Glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) is responsible for basal glucose uptake and is expressed in most tissues under normal conditions. GLUT1 mutations can cause early-onset absence epilepsy and myoclonus dystonia syndrome (MDS), with MDS potentially lethal. In this study, the effect of the R126C mutation, which is associated with MDS, on structural stability and substrate transport of GLUT1 was investigated. Various...
