Although it is not glucose, an oxidized form of this molecule is transported by the GLUT1 and GLUT3 proteins. Except for in red blood cells, SVCT2 is involved in the transport of this molecule. This molecule increases iron intake and acts as a cofactor in the conversion of dopamine to norepinephrine. The inability of collagen to fulfill its function leads to a condition resulting from the lack of this molecule, and Linus Pauling encouraged megadoses of this vitamin to fight the common cold. For 10 points, name this vitamin that is found in oran
