glut1
"Glut1" refers to the gene that codes for the glucose transporter 1 protein, which is responsible for the transportation of glucose molecules across cell membranes in the body. Defects or mutations in the glut1 gene can lead to a rare genetic disorder called Glucose Transporter Type 1 Deficiency Syndrome (Glut1 DS), characterized by impaired glucose uptake in the brain resulting in neurological symptoms.
