Additional info: 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.SpecificityThe antibody AGR3.4 recognizes the PLMII epitope of AGR3 (AG3) and AGR2 (AG2) proteins (19-20 kDa); secreted cytoplasmic proteins which can serve as markers of carcinogenesis.Application detailsFlow cytometry: Recommended dilution: 1-4 μg/ml.
