Molecular Visualization

GLUT1 is a membrane protein responsible for the facilitated diffusion of glucose across a membrane. This molecular visualization introduce different subunits of this transporter through the cell membrane and the role of inactivating mutations in compromised transport of glucose, leading to GLUT1 deficiency syndrome.
