Fatty acid synthase (FAS) is the key enzyme of de novo fatty acid synthesis and has been shown to be involved in carcinogenesis of numerous human malignancies, including breast, colorectal, and ...

Increased expression of fatty acid synthase (FAS) is observed in a clinically aggressive subset of various common cancers and interference with FAS offers promising opportunities for selective ...

Reporting in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, the Washington University researchers say studies in mice show that the damage appears to involve two enzymes, fatty acid synthase (FAS) and ...

Researchers developed an alternative fatty acid synthase (FAS) system in which enzymes from other organisms work with the native FAS in E. coli to improve the microbe’s capacity for chemical ...

Fatty acid synthase (FAS) is highly expressed in many human cancers, including lung cancers. Previous work has shown that blocking FAS activity by cerulenin, a natural antibiotic, or C75, a ...

Fatty acids are essential in all living organisms: to store energy, form membranes, and multiply. They are produced by a complex cellular machinery – the fatty acid synthase (FAS). A team of the ...

Tridecanoic acid (C13) is a rare, odd-chain saturated fatty acid produced mainly by gut and rumen microbes, entering ...

Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis announced last week they have made a surprising discovery about the origin of diabetes. Their research suggests that problems ...

That process requires an enzyme called fatty acid synthase (FAS). Mice engineered so that they don't make FAS in their fat cells can eat a high-fat diet without becoming obese.
