glucose transporter mutations
Glucose transporter mutations refer to alterations in the genes responsible for producing proteins called glucose transporters, which are involved in the transportation of glucose molecules across cell membranes. These mutations result in abnormalities in the functioning or production of these transporters, leading to impaired glucose uptake by cells and potentially causing various health conditions.
