A study showed that in gastric cancer cells of the mesenchymal state, the expression of elongation of very-long-chain fatty acid protein 5 (ELOVL5) and fatty acid desaturase 1 (FADS1) was upregulated, resulting in ferroptosis sensitization, which was opposite in intestinal-type gastric cancer cells [26]. Here, ELOVL5 is linked to gastric cancer.
