** fatty acid synthase (FASN) in (humans)

Gene ID: 2194, updated on 21-Mar-2015

The enzyme encoded by this gene is a multifunctional protein. Its main function is to catalyze the synthesis of palmitate from acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA, in the presence of NADPH, into long-chain saturated fatty acids. In some cancer cell lines, this protein has been found to be fused with estrogen receptor-alpha (ER-alpha), in which the N-terminus of FAS is fused in-frame with the C-terminus of ER-alpha.

More scientific proof that fatty acids helps with the binding process of estrogen receptor alpha (ER-a, the growth receptor). Specifically---palmitate (a solid unsaturated fat). I hope this is making sense for everybody. In other words- omega 3's and 6's needs to be in an NBE plan, the health benefits alone are worth looking into, another benefit is its ability to block DHT (e.g. Evening primrose oil, EPO).

Coconut oil
Evening primrose oil
Macadamia nut oil
Krill oil

And organic when possible.

Hi Lotus, I have seen a few times you mention Macadamia oil as binding to ER-a, or targets ER-a, or stimulates ER-a, I was wondering where you got that because I couldn't find anything online, I figured maybe it was a bit more complicated and had to do with specific aspects of Macadamia oil. Is this your explanation, if so I cannot understand what you are saying here, since there is no palmitate in Macadamia? Or was that part separate from the list of oils? If so, do you recommend taking palmitate? I was wondering if you could clarify what you mean about Macadamia targeting or binding or stimulating ER-a, as in why you say it, and how it works - do you mean if you ingest Macadamia oil your breasts and hips will grow faster then other oils? Or is this more about topical application which aids estrogen production in general? Or any use which aids estrogen in general?
