Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable alkylglycerone-phosphate synthase activity. Predicted to be involved in lipid biosynthetic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within lipid metabolic 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).
