Abstract excerpt
Plasmalogens are an abundant class of glycero-phospholipids with a characteristic 1-O-alk-1'-enyl double bond. While their synthesis has been extensively investigated, their degradation remains understudied. Plasmalogen deficiencies are associated with severe disorders in humans and interfering with their degradation would be a treatment option, but it remains out of reach due to limited knowledge. The...
