Alkylglycerol monooxygenase represses prostanoid biosynthesis in a sex-dependent manner [PDF]
Background Ether lipids are important constituents of biological membranes and harbor fatty alcohols attached via ether linkages to the sn-1 position of the glycerol backbone. Depending on the nature of the ether bond, they are subdivided into 1-O-alkyl (

Adaptations of the 3T3-L1 adipocyte lipidome to defective ether lipid catabolism upon Agmo knockdown [PDF]
Little is known about the physiological role of alkylglycerol monooxygenase (AGMO), the only enzyme capable of cleaving the 1-O-alkyl ether bond of ether lipids.

AGMO Inhibitor Reduces 3T3-L1 Adipogenesis [PDF]
Alkylglycerol monooxygenase (AGMO) is a tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4)-dependent enzyme with major expression in the liver and white adipose tissue that cleaves alkyl ether glycerolipids.

The Emerging Physiological Role of AGMO 10 Years after Its Gene Identification [PDF]
The gene encoding alkylglycerol monooxygenase (AGMO) was assigned 10 years ago. So far, AGMO is the only known enzyme capable of catalysing the breakdown of alkylglycerols and lyso-alkylglycerophospholipids. With the knowledge of the genetic information,

Make or break - PEDS1 and AGMO orchestrate ether lipid homeostasis in human adipocytes and are associated with blood lipid profiles [PDF]
Background Obesity and its associated sequelae have become a major global health concern. While ester-linked lipids are well-established regulators of adipocyte function and energy storage. Emerging evidence from cohort studies suggests that ether-linked

First insights into structure-function relationships of alkylglycerol monooxygenase
Alkylglycerol monooxygenase is a tetrahydrobiopterin-dependent enzyme that cleaves the O-alkyl-bond of alkylglycerols. It is an exceptionally unstable, hydrophobic membrane protein which has never been purified in active form.

Expression of full-length human alkylglycerol monooxygenase and fragments in Escherichia coli
Alkylglycerol monooxygenase (AGMO; EC 1.14.16.5) is the only enzyme known to cleave the O-alkyl ether bond of alkylglycerols in humans. It is an integral membrane protein with nine predicted transmembrane domains.
