SLC2A1
1p35-p31.3
GLUT1 is an erythrocyte-type glucose transporter protein that is highly expressed by endothelia in brain (but not most peripheral)microvasculature, and by tumor cells in many epithelial malignancies.
GLUT1 is expressed by endothelial cells in juvenile hemangiomas and VHL-associated hemangioblastomas.
