AGPS and cancer: Elevation of plasmalogens has been shown in several cancer cells (Albert and Anderson, 1977; Roos and Choppin, 1984; Snyder and Wood, 1969), which is likely associated with the pathogenicity of tumors because an inhibitor of AGPS lowers the plasmalogen levels and suppresses the pathogenicity of various types of cancer cells in vitro (Piano et al., 2015).
