We found that the levels of glucose transporter GLUT1 on cMBC subset and the expression of CD98 (SLC3A2), a heavy chain of the heterodimeric amino acid transporter that was associated with proliferating cells41, by the MZB cell and aMBC subsets were significantly reduced in LC patients (Fig. 5a). This evidence concerns the gene SLC3A2 and laryngotracheoesophageal cleft.
