Alkyldihydroxyacetonephosphate Synthase, Peroxisomal

Preferred Label : Alkyldihydroxyacetonephosphate Synthase, Peroxisomal;

NCIt synonyms : Aging-Associated Protein 5; Alkylglycerone-Phosphate Synthase; Alkyldihydroxyacetonephosphate Synthase; Aging-Associated Gene 5 Protein; EC 2.5.1.26; Alkylglycerone Phosphate Synthase; AGPS; Alkyl-DHAP Synthase;

NCIt definition : Alkyldihydroxyacetonephosphate synthase, peroxisomal (658 aa, 73 kDa) is encoded by the human AGPS gene. This protein is involved in the exchange of the acyl chain in acyl-dihydroxyacetonephosphate (acyl-DHAP) for a long chain fatty alcohol chain, yielding alkyl-DHAP, during ether lipid biosynthesis.;
