Previous research has indicated that the overexpression of acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4), solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11), and ChaC glutathione-specific γ-glutamylcyclotransferase (CHAC1) as ferroptosis-related proteins is associated with poorer prognosis in several cancers. This evidence concerns the gene ACSL4 and cancer.
