lipid metabolism enzymes

Which enzymes are critical in lipid metabolism for cancer cells?

Several enzymes play a pivotal role in lipid metabolism within cancer cells. These include Fatty Acid Synthase (FASN), Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase (ACC), Sterol Regulatory Element-Binding Proteins (SREBPs), Lipoprotein Lipase (LPL), and Carnitine Palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT1). These enzymes facilitate various processes such as fatty acid synthesis, lipid uptake, and fatty acid oxidation, all of which are essential for cancer cell function and growth.
