Solute carrier family 2 member 1 (SLC2A1) Homosapiens.This gene encodes a major glucose transporter in the mammalianblood-brain barrier. The encoded protein is found primarily in the cell membrane and on the cell surface, where it can also function as a receptor for human T-cell leukimia virus (HTLV) I and II. Mutations in this gene have been found in a family with paroxysmal exertion-induced dyskinesia.
