FADS2 Function at the Major Cancer Hotspot 11q13 Locus Alters Fatty Acid Metabolism in Cancer
2022-10-14
Abstract excerpt
The human chromosome 11q13 (HSA 11q13) genomic locus is a major cancer hotspot and has been established as the most frequently altered by amplification in a variety of human cancers. The fatty acid desaturase genes (FADS1, FADS2 and FADS3) localize to the 11q12- 13.1 region. FADS2 activity is promiscuous, catalyzing biosynthesis of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, including unsaturated branched cha...
