Source:
Type:
Fatty acid synthase (FASN) is an enzyme involved in the synthesis of fatty acids, which are essential for cell growth and proliferation. Overexpression of FASN has been observed in various types of cancer, and it is often associated with poor prognosis.
-fatty acid synthase (FAS) has been demonstrated to play an important role in carcinogenesis by protecting cells from apoptosis

FASN (fatty acid synthase) is a key enzyme in the de novo synthesis of fatty acids and has been widely studied in cancer due to its role in lipid metabolism and energy production. Altered FASN expression has been reported in various malignancies, and its prognostic implications have been explored across several tumor types.

FASN is frequently overexpressed in a variety of cancers, including breast, prostate, colorectal, ovarian, and others.
• Many cancers require high levels of fatty acid synthesis for the generation of new membranes and for signaling lipid molecules.
• Higher FASN expression is generally associated with more aggressive cancer phenotypes, increased metastatic potential, and poorer patient outcomes.
• Its role in promoting de novo fatty acid synthesis links it directly to the metabolic demands of rapidly dividing cancer cells, making it both a prognostic biomarker and a promising therapeutic target.
