Recombinant protein encompassing a sequence within the N-terminus region of human Fatty Acid Synthase. The exact sequence is proprietary.
Alternative Names:
FAS, OA-519, SDR27X1
The enzyme encoded by this gene is a multifunctional protein. Its main function is to catalyze the synthesis of palmitate from acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA, in the presence of NADPH, into long-chain saturated fatty acids. In some cancer cell lines, this protein has been found to be fused with estrogen receptor-alpha (ER-alpha), in which the N-terminus of FAS is fused in-frame with the C-terminus of ER-alpha.
