PGP Antibody / Glycerol-3-phosphate phosphatase

PGP (Phosphoglycolate phosphatase), also called Glycerol-3-phosphate phosphatase and Aspartate-based ubiquitous Mg(2+)-dependent phosphatase (AUM), belongs to the HAD-like hydrolase superfamily. It is an essential intermediate in the biosynthetic pathway of cardiolipin and a mitochondrial-specific phospholipid regulating the membrane integrity and activities of the organelle. PGP catalyzes the formation of phosphatidylglycerol from phosphatidylglycerophosphate.
