Alkylglycerone phosphate synthase (EC 2.5.1.26) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the AGPS gene. It is associated with Type 3 Rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

1-acyl-glycerone 3-phosphate + a long-chain alcohol



⇌


{\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }

an alkyl-glycerone 3-phosphate + a long-chain acid anion

Alternative names
This enzyme has also been called: alkyldihydroxyacetonephosphate synthase, alkyldihydroxyacetone phosphate synthetase, alkyl DHAP synthetase, alkyl-DHAP, dihydroxyacetone-phosphate acyltransferase, and DHAP-AT.
