Fatty Acid Synthase #

Catalyzes fatty acid synthesis. Uses NADPH as a cofactor.

    • Knockdown of FASN using RNA interference drasticaly lowered (>100x) the amount of Estradiol required for activation of ERα-mediated transcriptional activity.
    • FASN blockased synergistically increased E2-stimulated ERα-mediated transcriptional activity in ERα-negative breast cancer cells stably transfected with ERα, but not in ERα-negative parental cells.
