Agps - alkylglycerone phosphate synthase

Predicted to enable alkylglycerone-phosphate synthase activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within lipid biosynthetic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; respiratory system; sensory organ; and urinary system. Used to study rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata type 3. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata and rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata type 3. Orthologous to human AGPS (alkylglycerone phosphate synthase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
