GLUT1 is often overexpressed in a variety of tumors, suggesting that GLUT 1 is required for elevated glucose uptake in cancer (Amann and Hellerbrand, 2009; Ramani et al., 2013; Kaira et al., 2014), which can result from a specific metabolic phenomenon, aerobic glycolysis often described as the “Warburg effect”(Warburg, 1956b; Diaz-Ruiz et al., 2011). This evidence concerns the gene SLC2A1 and cancer.
