Gastric cancer cells with high expression of elongation of very long-chain fatty acid protein 5 (ELOVL5) and fatty acid desaturase 1 (FADS1) are more sensitive to ferroptosis, while cells that highly expressed stearoyl-CoA Desaturase 1 (SCD1) exhibit ferroptosis resistance (Wang C. et al., 2020; Lee et al., 2020). This evidence concerns the gene ELOVL5 and gastric cancer.
