Wild-type p53 (wt p53) promotes FAO and inhibits tumor proliferation by up-regulating the expression of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1C (CPT1C), malonyl coenzyme A decarboxylase (MCD), and lipoprotein 1 (LPIN1) (Zhuang et al., 2019; Fadó et al., 2023; Mao and Jiang, 2023; Wang et al., 2023; Zheng et al., 2023).
