Several other transcription factors, including NF‐κB, SIRT1, forkhead box protein M1, and tensin homolog on chromosome 10, have also been revealed to regulate GLUT1 expression (Chen et al., 2019; Phadngam et al., 2016; Wang et al., 2016) and participate in ischemic stroke, but their possible roles of regulating EC‐GLUT1 during stroke require further demonstration. Here, SLC2A1 is linked to stroke disorder.
