It’s found that Lung adenocarcinoma and lung squamous cell carcinoma have differential presentation; while adenocarcinomas were found to have higher levels of solute carrier family A1 member 5 (SLC1A5) and GLS in both protein and mRNA levels, squamous lung cancers had higher glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) expression compared to lung adenocarcinomas. Here, SLC2A1 is linked to lung adenocarcinoma.
