Fatty Acid Synthase

Fatty Acid Synthase

Fatty Acid Synthase (FASN) is a multifunctional homodimeric enzyme protein, and it is the major enzyme required for the anabolic conversion of dietary carbohydrates to fatty acids.In the presence of NADPH, fatty acid synthase catalyzes the conversion of acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA into long-chain saturated fatty acids.

Palmitic acid is produced by the sizable homodimeric multifunctional enzyme known as human fatty acid synthase. Fatty acid synthase's distinctive carboxyl terminal thioesterase domain hydrolyzes the lengthening fatty acid chain and is essential for controlling the amount of fatty acid released. Additionally, the thioesterase is a candidate target for therapeutic intervention due to the up-regulation of human fatty acid synthase in a variety of cancers.
