Abstract：The tumor metabolism is changed to have a dramatic demand of glutamine, and its growth and proliferation depend on glutamine. Glutamine transporters mediate the uptake of glutamine in tumor cell, so they play an important role in the metabolism of tumor. The review introduces the aberrant expression of glutamine transporter in breast cancer, and reveals the influence to breast cancer growth and treatment, then hope to provide new ideas for breast cancer treatment.
