Why is Fatty Acid Synthase Important in Histology?
FAS is a key player in lipid metabolism, and its dysregulation is associated with various pathologies. In cancer, for example, FAS is often overexpressed, leading to an increase in fatty acid synthesis which supports rapid tumor growth and proliferation. Histological analysis of FAS expression can therefore provide valuable insights into the metabolic state of tissues and aid in the diagnosis and prognosis of diseases.
