Transgenic expression of the human Glucose Transporter1 (GLUT1) gene locus reduces disease burden in Glut1 deficiency syndrome model mice
5 Aug 2025
Abstract excerpt
Proper brain function relies on an adequate supply of energy - mainly glucose - to power neuronal activity. Delivery of this nutrient to the neuropil is mediated by the Glucose Transporter1 (GLUT1) protein. Perturbing glucose supply to the brain is profoundly damaging and exemplified by the neurodevelopmental disorder, GLUT1 deficiency syndrome (GLUT1DS). Resulting from haploinsufficiency of the SLC2A1 (GLUT1)...
