Fatty acid synthase (FAS, FASN) is a multifunctional protein, mainly involved in catalyzing the synthesis of palmitate from acetyl-CoA and malonyl CoA, in the presence of NADPH. In mammals, it is composed of two identical multifunctional polypeptides, in which three catalytic domains in the N-terminal section (β-ketoacyl synthase, malonyl/acetyl tansferase, and dehydrase) are separated by a core region of about 600 residues from four C-terminal domains (enoyl reductase, β-ketoacyl reductase, acyl carrier protein, and thioesterase).
免疫原
synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 2497-2511 of human fatty acid synthase, conjugated to KLH via an N-terminal added lysine residue. The corresponding sequence is conserved in human, rat, and mouse.
应用
Anti-Fatty Acid Synthase (C-Terminal) antibody is suitable for western blot analysis at a concentration of 0.5-1μg/mL using lysates of Rat1 cells and 1-2μg/mL using lysates of human HEK 293-T cells.
生化/生理作用
FAS plays an essential role during embryogenesis and energy homeostasis in adult animals. It also acts as the carbon source for fatty acid synthesis. It has been shown to be overexpressed in various types of human cancer, including prostate, breast, ovary and others.

Refeeding carbohydrate to fasted rats induces the transcription of genes encoding enzymes of fatty acid biosynthesis, e.g. fatty-acid synthase (FAS). Part of this transcriptional induction is mediated by insulin. An insulin response element has been described for the fatty-acid synthase
Fatty acid synthase (FAS), a key enzyme of the fatty acid biosynthetic pathway, has been shown to be overexpressed in various types of human cancer and is, therefore, considered to be an attractive target for anticancer therapy. However, the exact
De novo synthesis of fatty acids in the cytosol of animal cells is carried out by the multifunctional, homodimeric fatty acid synthase (FAS). Cryo-EM analysis of single FAS particles imaged under conditions that limit conformational variability, combined with gold labeling

Fatty acid synthase (FAS) activity is a potential therapeutic target to treat cancer and obesity. Here, we have identified a molecular link between FAS and HER2 (erbB-2) oncogene, a marker for poor prognosis that is overexpressed in 30% of breast
The receptor tyrosine kinase ErbB2 (HER-2/neu) is overexpressed in up to 30% of breast cancers and is associated with poor prognosis and an increased likelihood of metastasis especially in node-positive tumors. In this proteomic study, to identify the proteins that
