Levels in cell membranes are increased by reduced glucose levels and decreased by increased glucose levels. GLUT1 expression is upregulated in many tumors. GLUT2: Is a bidirectional transporter, allowing glucose to flow in 2 directions. Is expressed by renal tubular cells, liver cells and pancreatic beta cells.
GLUT1 deficiency syndrome, also known as GLUT1-DS, De Vivo disease or Glucose transporter type 1 deficiency syndrome, is an autosomal dominant genetic metabolic disorder associated with a deficiency of GLUT1, the protein that transports glucose across the blood brain barrier. [1]
It is an integral membrane protein carrier with a hydrophilic interior, which allows it to bind to glucose. As GLUT 1 is a type of carrier protein, it will undergo a conformational change to allow glucose to enter the other side of the plasma membrane. [22] GLUT 1 is commonly found in the red blood cell membranes of mammals. [23]
GLUT1 is a hydrophobic protein and 50% of GLUT1 is in the lipid bilayer. GLUT1 is present in the placenta, brain, epithelial cells of the mammary gland, transformed cells, and fetal tissue. [5] Due to its ubiquitous presence, it is proposed that GLUT1 is at least somewhat responsible for basal glucose uptake. [5]
A man who ate the carnivore diet had cholesterol of 1,000 and developed yellow lumps on his hands, deposits of excess cholesterol under his skin.

Glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4), also known as solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 4, is a protein encoded, in humans, by the SLC2A4 gene. GLUT4 is the insulin -regulated glucose transporter found primarily in adipose tissues and striated muscle (skeletal and cardiac).
