Multiple enzymes within the FA synthesis pathway which include ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY) (Bauer et al., 2005; Hatzivassiliou et al., 2005), acetyl-CoA carboxylases (ACC1/2) (Jones et al., 2017; Ye et al., 2019), FA synthase (FASN) (Flavin et al., 2010; Fhu and Ali, 2020), and stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD1) (Roongta et al., 2011; Mason et al., 2012; Chen et al., 2016; Luis et al., 2021) have all been found to correlate strongly with tumor growth and have been proposed as biomarkers for specific types of cancers. This evidence concerns the gene SCD and neoplasm.
