Background
AGPS (alkylglycerone phosphate synthase), is an enzyme that catalyzes the second step of ether lipid biosynthesis in which acyl-dihydroxyacetone phosphate (acyl-DHAP) is converted to alkyl-DHAP by addition of a long chain alcohol and removal of a long-chain acid anion. The protein is localized to the inner side of the peroxisomal membrane and requires FAD as a cofactor. Mutations in AGPS gene have been associated with type 3 of rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata (RCDP3), and Zellweger syndrome. Higher expression of AGPS was observed in BCR/ABL positive leukemias and it was also described to be associated with higher risk of relapse.
