ACLY and breast cancer: To determine the mechanism of ASCT2 regulating lipid metabolism in basal-like breast cancer, the UCSC database (http://genome.ucsc.edu/, accessed on 3 February 2023) was utilized to determine the promoter sequence of enzymes (ACLY, HMGCR, CPT1B), and then the putative TFs binding to them were predicted by PROMO and JASPAR.
