Disease relevance of Glut1

  • MATERIALS AND METHODS: Immunohistochemical expression of Glut-1 was examined in surgically resected tissues from 95 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma [1].
  • RESULTS: Of the 95 esophageal carcinomas, 91 (95.8%) had some Glut-1 immunostaining in the membranes of the cancer cells [1].
  • Comparison of Glut-1 expression and clinicopathological characteristics in the 95 patients with esophageal cancer revealed significant associations between Glut-1 expression and tumor status (p < 0.001), lymph node status (p < 0.05), metastatic status (p < 0.01), and pathological stage (p < 0.001) [1].
 

High impact information on Glut1

 

Associations of Glut1 with chemical compounds

  • Here we report the results of analyses of functional sites and secondary structures of the proposed proteins and conclude that the Dmglut1 and Ceglut1 genes encode functional glucose transporters [4].
