ACSS2 (Acyl-CoA Synthetase Short Chain Family Member 2) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the metabolism of fatty acids.
ACSS enzymes (mainly ACSS1 in mitochondria and ACSS2 in the cytosol and nucleus) convert acetate into acetyl‐CoA.
ACSS2 is overexpressed in: breast, lung, CRC, prostate, pancreatic, GBM, ovarian, liver, Esophageal cancers.
-Upregulation of ACSS2 has been observed in various cancers, where it enables cancer cells to maintain acetyl‐CoA levels for Lipid synthesis needed for membrane biogenesis.
