FASN - fatty acid synthase Gene
Also Known as FAS; OA-519; SDR27X1
Species: Homo sapiens
About FASN
This gene has 13 transcripts (splice variants), 195 orthologues, 1 paralogue and is associated with 1 phenotype. Biased expression in fat (RPKM 227.7), prostate (RPKM 28.4) and 3 other tissues.
Summary
The enzyme encoded by this gene is a multifunctional protein. Its main function is to catalyze the synthesis of palmitate from acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA, in the presence of NADPH, into long-chain saturated fatty acids. In some Cancer cell lines, this protein has been found to be fused with estrogen receptor-alpha (ER-alpha), in which the N-terminus of FAS is fused in-frame with the C-terminus of ER-alpha.
