SLC27, solute carrier 27 family, a long-chain fatty acid membrane transporters, in human cancers (opens in new tab)

The Solute Carrier family 27 (SLC27), also known as the fatty acid transport proteins (FATPs) is a group of transmembrane integral proteins that facilitate the entry of long-chain and very long-chain fatty acids into cells. The human SLC27 family consists of six highly homologous members (SLC27A1 to A6), which are expressed in various tissues reliant on fatty acids for energy metabolism and biosynthesis, participating in multiple physiological processes. Recent years have seen extensive resea...
