MYC and cancer: Regarding protein synthesis, in which MYC plays a central role for supporting cancer cell proliferation [104], key roles have been identified for proteins and enzymes involved in lipid metabolism linked to oncogenic levels of MYC, such as fatty acid transporter CD36, various lipases (LPL) and kinases that contribute to fatty acid oxidation; however, MYC is also closely related to SREBP1, which regulates lipogenesis [105].
