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. Fatty acid synthase catalyzes the conversion of acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA, in the presence of NADPH, into long-chain saturated fatty acids.

Human fatty acid synthase is a large homodimeric multifunctional enzyme that synthesizes palmitic acid. The unique carboxyl terminal thioesterase domain of fatty acid synthase hydrolyzes the growing fatty acid chain and plays a critical role in regulating the chain length of fatty acid released. Also, the up-regulation of human fatty acid synthase in a variety of cancer makes the thioesterase a candidate target for therapeutic treatment.

    Rebaudioside A (Standard)
    		Activator
    Rebaudioside A (Standard) is the analytical standard of Rebaudioside A. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Rebaudioside A is an orally effective steviol glycoside with high sweetness. Rebaudioside A acts as an inhibitor of α-glucosidase with an IC50 value of 35.01 μg/mL. Rebaudioside A increases the ATP/ADP ratio in β cells in a glucose-dependent manner, thereby inhibiting KATP channels, leading to membrane depolarization, calcium influx, and ultimately stimulating insulin secretion. Rebaudioside A activates the SREBP signaling pathway by inhibiting HMGCR, the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol synthesis, resulting in increased expression of LDLR on the cell surface, thus promoting the uptake of LDL-C in the blood. Rebaudioside A can be used for studies on blood glucose and lipid regulation as well as anti-obesity.
