Orderable Test Description
Glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) facilitates the transport of glucose across the plasma membranes of mammalian cells. GLUT-1 is expressed in many human tissues including those of the colon, lung, stomach, esophagus and breast. Overexpression of GLUT1 is associated with aggressive behavior in some cancers, including breast, renal, and bladder carcinoma. Expression of GLUT1 can help distinguish malignant mesothelioma from reactive mesothelial proliferations.
