ACSL4 in apoptosis. On one hand, ACSL4 promotes apoptosis resistance by synthesizing lipids to increase mitochondrial membrane stability and by upregulating fatty-acid β-oxidation through ACSL4 expression. On the other hand, ACSL4 can also catalyze the synthesis of fatty acyl-CoA, which can generate lipid-free radicals and cause oxidative stress.
