GOT2 and hepatocellular carcinoma: Concomitant with the EMT process induced by TGF-β in the HCC cells, here we observe an increased expression of fatty acid transporters, including various members of the family of fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) and the family of long-chain fatty acid transporters, solute carrier family 27 (SLC27), suggesting an increased fatty acid uptake that correlates with the higher level of intracellular FFA.
