Role of acetoacetyl-CoA synthetase in glucose uptake by HepG2 cells
2023-02-04
Abstract excerpt
Accelerated glucose metabolism is a common feature of cancer cells and represents a potential therapeutic target. Recent studies have revealed that lipid metabolism is related to glucose me-tabolism, especially glucose uptake. Acetoacetyl-CoA synthetase (AACS) converts acetoacetate, a ketone body, to acetoacetyl-CoA, which is incorporated into cholesterol and fatty acids. The AACS gene is highly expressed in HepG2...
