Stearoyl coenzyme A desaturase-1: multitasker in cancer, metabolism, and ferroptosis
5 Apr 2023
Abstract excerpt
Cancer progression is a highly balanced process and is maintained by a sequence of finely tuned metabolic pathways. Stearoyl coenzyme A desaturase-1 (SCD1), the fatty enzyme that converts saturated fatty acids into monounsaturated fatty acids, is a critical modulator of the fatty acid metabolic pathway. SCD1 expression is associated with poor prognosis in several cancer types. SCD1 triggers an iron-dependent cell...
