Glut1

Glut1 is a protein that acts like a gateway, allowing glucose (sugar) to enter cells, especially in the brain. Since the brain relies heavily on glucose for energy, Glut1 ensures a steady supply. It is found on the surface of cells and helps them take in glucose from the blood. When Glut1 doesn’t work properly or is in low amounts, it can lead to problems like seizures or developmental delays because the brain isn't getting enough fuel. Overall, Glut1 is essential for maintaining proper energy supply to brain cells and other tissues.
