Title: Research Progress in the Fatty Acid Synthase Gene
Abstract: The fatty acid synthase(FASN) plays a central role in lipogenesis of mammals through the synthesis of saturated long-chain fatty acids from acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA.The fatty acid synthase is a key enzyme of lipogenesis and may play a crucial role in the weight variability of the abdominal adipose tissue.In this review the status,function,mapping,structure of FASN gene,and the association between genetic variation of FASN gene and production trait were summarized.
