In addition, the HIF-1α-induced expression of glycolytic genes (GLUT1, GLUT3, HK2, and PFKFB2) promotes glucose uptake, glycolysis, and glycolytic flux to fuel SSP, leading to elevated de novo serine and glycine biosynthesis, NADPH/NADP+ ratio, and the proliferation and survival of GBM cells. The gene discussed is SLC2A3; the disease is glioblastoma.
