Since this GDM effect was associated with similar reduction (∼65%) in hENT1 and hENT2 protein abundance, with no changes in the half-life of these proteins, GDM-reduced transport may result from hENT1 and hENT2-lower availability rather than reduced affinity of a fix number of transporters at the plasma membrane [22]. Here, SLC29A1 is linked to gestational diabetes.
