Synthesis pass · prose summary of the discoveries below

SLC2A1 (GLUT1) is a ubiquitously expressed, 12-transmembrane-domain facilitated glucose uniporter of the major facilitator superfamily that mediates basal glucose uptake across the plasma membrane and also transports dehydroascorbic acid (PMID:3839598, PMID:24847886, PMID:9228080). Its surface abundance is dynamically regulated by TXNIP-driven clathrin-mediated internalization (relieved by AMPK-dependent TXNIP degradation), SNX27–retromer–RAB21-mediated endosomal recycling back to the plasma membrane, and GIPC1 binding to a C-terminal PDZ motif that protects internalized GLUT1 from lysosomal degradation; ATM phosphorylation of Ser490 promotes GIPC1 association and surface retention, while stomatin binding to the C-terminal tail inhibits intrinsic transport activity without altering surface levels (PMID:23453806, PMID:23563491, PMID:35993307, PMID:19016655, PMID:23776597, PMID:11287341). GLUT1 is the predominant glucose transporter at the blood–brain barrier and in erythrocytes, and heterozygous loss-of-function mutations cause GLUT1 deficiency syndrome, characterized by hypoglycorrhachia, seizures, and developmental delay (PMID:2211679, PMID:1714544, PMID:10980529). GLUT1 also serves as the obligate receptor for HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 entry, and its differential expression programs distinct metabolic fates in effector versus regulatory T cells (PMID:14622599, PMID:21317389).
