Description
Fang Wei and co-authors reviewed a protein fat-tag in liver cancer in a 2026 paper. The tag, palmitoylation, sticks a fatty chain onto a protein and can be lifted off again. It steers where a protein sits, how long it lasts, and what signals it sends.
When the tagging goes off balance, it can tilt growth genes, guard genes, and surface proteins toward cancer. It also reshapes the tumor's surroundings. The review pulls together what is known for liver cancer in chief, where the tag's role is still being mapped. The authors weigh which tagging enzymes might make drug targets.
