General Information of the m6A Target Gene (ID: M6ATAR00269)
Target Name Glucose transporter type 1 (SLC2A1)
Synonyms
Glucose transporter type 1, erythrocyte/brain; GLUT-1; HepG2 glucose transporter; GLUT1
    Click to Show/Hide
Gene Name SLC2A1
Chromosomal Location 1p34.2
Family major facilitator superfamily; Sugar transporter (TC 2;A;1;1) family; Glucose transporter subfamily
Function
Facilitative glucose transporter, which is responsible for constitutive or basal glucose uptake. Has a very broad substrate specificity; can transport a wide range of aldoses including both pentoses and hexoses. Most important energy carrier of the brain: present at the blood-brain barrier and assures the energy-independent, facilitative transport of glucose into the brain. In association with BSG and NXNL1, promotes retinal cone survival by increasing glucose uptake into photoreceptors (By similarity).

Experiment 1 Reporting the m6A Methylation Regulator of This Target Gene [1]
Response Summary METTL3 stabilizes HK2 and Glucose transporter type 1 (SLC2A1) (GLUT1) expression in colorectal cancer through an m6A-IGF2BP2/3- dependent mechanism.
Target Regulation Up regulation
Responsed Disease Colorectal cancer ICD-11: 2B91
Pathway Response Glycolysis / Gluconeogenesis hsa00010
Cell Process Glucose metabolism
Experiment 2 Reporting the m6A Methylation Regulator of This Target Gene [2]
Response Summary METTL3 induced Glucose transporter type 1 (SLC2A1) translation in an m6A-dependent manner, which subsequently promoted glucose uptake and lactate production, leading to the activation of mTORC1 signaling and CRC development.
Target Regulation Up regulation
Responsed Disease Colorectal cancer ICD-11: 2B91
Pathway Response mTOR signaling pathway hsa04150
In-vivo Model To generate the Mettl3+/- mice, 2 specific single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs) targeting exon 2 of Mettl3 were used, which resulted in a frameshift mutation and generated a premature stop codon.
