encodes a glucose transporter protein highly expressed in the brain. Mutations in may lead to neurological diseases and developmental disorders, but its exact role is poorly understood. DNA G-quadruplexes (DNA G4s) are stable structures formed by four guanine bases and play a role in gene regulation and genomic stability.
