Plasmalogens and fatty alcohols in rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata and Sjögren‐Larsson syndrome
29 Nov 2014
Abstract excerpt
Plasmalogens are a special class of ether-phospholipids, best recognized by their vinyl-ether bond at the sn-1 position of the glycerobackbone and by the observation that their deficiency causes rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata (RCDP). The complex plasmalogen biosynthetic pathway involves multiple enzymatic steps carried-out in peroxisomes and in the endoplasmic reticulum. The rate limiting step in the...
