Agps Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable FAD binding activity and alkylglycerone-phosphate synthase activity. Predicted to be involved in ether 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, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Agps often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
