| Gene Description | FASN, fatty acid synthase, converts acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA to palmitate in the synthesis of fatty acids (PMID: 30619288). Altered expression of Fasn in ovarian cancer may impair the anti-tumor response (PMID: 30619288) and development of Fasn inhibitors is an active area of investigation for Fasn-overexpressing tumors (PMID: 30578319, PMID: 30667213, PMID: 29779975, PMID: 29751678). | ||||||||||
