1 For this purpose, we generated hTERT-immortalized fibroblasts overexpressing the rate-limiting enzymes that promote ketone body production, namely BDH1 and HMGCS2. Ketones 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase 2 Homo sapiens
2 In summary, ketone bodies behave as onco-metabolites, and we directly show that the enzymes HMGCS2, ACAT1/2 and OXCT1/2 are bona fide metabolic oncogenes. Ketones 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase 2 Homo sapiens
