SLC2A1 and cancer: It has been found that mirnas can not only regulate glucose transporters (GLUTs/SLC2A), which is a key protein that helps glucose enter cells and control glycolysis, but also miRNA targeting GLUT is believed to play a role in regulating GLUT expression and enhancing glycolysis in a variety of cancer types such as prostate cancer [41] and liver cancer [42, 43].
